This is because the axis is automatically scaled within the figure 
space.  This won't take into account the size of your monitor (which 
could make the image hard to work with), but something like this should 
work (untested, but probably close):

a = imread("lena.bmp");
imshow(double(a)/256);
s = size(a)(1:2);
set(gcf, "position", [50 50 s*1.1])
set(gca, "position", [.05 .05 .9 .9])

You may also need to toss in an "axis image", but I think that imshow 
takes care of that.

Hopefully that helps.

Have a good day,
