I have constructed a xyscatter plot in excel using activex from matlab code but cant figure out how to dimension it. Here is the code that I have:
Workbooks = Excel.Workbooks;
Workbook = Workbooks.Add;
Sheets = Excel.ActiveWorkBook.Sheets;
sheet1 = get(Sheets, 'Item', 1);
Activesheet = Excel.Activesheet;
Range = 'A1:B10';
Data(:,1) = 1:10';
Data(:,2) = Data(:,1).^2;
ActivesheetRange = get(Activesheet,'Range',Range);
set(ActivesheetRange, 'Value', Data);
Chart = invoke(Workbook.Charts,'Add');
Excel.ActiveChart.ChartType = 'xlXYScatterLinesNoMarkers';
invoke(Chart, 'SetSourceData', ActivesheetRange);
Chart.Location('xlLocationAsObject', 'Sheet1');

I'm going from memory here but for sizing, you might try:
Chart.ChartArea.Height = 100; % units are points, I think
Chart.ChartArea.Width = 100;
For positioning from the top left-hand corner of Cell A1, you might try:
Chart.ChartArea.Top = 100;
Chart.ChartArea.Left = 100;
If these don't work, it maybe because your Chart object is an Excel ChartObject that is the container for an Excel Chart object. I know, it's terribly confusing, but basically it means instead of using:
Chart.
in the above, you need to use:
Chart.Chart.
