Handling the size of MATLAB GUI programmatically?

I have a matlab GUI whose resize behavior property is set to "Proportional". This is good if I want to increase the size of GUI i.e. the size of all components (Pushbuttons etc.) increase in proportion to the size of GUI figure. The problem occurs when I reduce the size of GUI figure. Reducing the size beyond a point distort the shapes and appearance of GUI components.

What I want is a way by which I can fix a minimum size of my GUI and from there it can be resized proportionally.

I tried a lot inside Matlab without success: Catching the position in the ResizeFcn and setting it to a specific limit, did not work reliably. Therefore I've used the Java method in http://mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/38527-limit-figure-size. Unfortunately this failed in R2011b, but I assume it is working in modern Matlab versions again.

The version I have works fine in recent versions, although I notice mine is called LimitSizeFig while the latest zip contains LimitFigSize. I assume it got renamed at some point since one of the comments on the submission mentions LimitSizeFig so it isn't an edit I did.

I did edit it for my use, but just to suppress a warning that I don't care about.

Edit: I have now updated mine and all its usages to the latest version and it works fine in R2016b too.
