unfortunately, there isn't a function/mode that does quite what you
want.
a few things, however, will make your fig <grand>
% 1) apply the screen size to the fig size
p=get(0,'screensize');
set(gcf,'position',p);
% 2) get rid of the toolbar(s)
set(gcf,'windowstyle','modal');
% ... with some drawbacks!
