Ideal dimensions for MATLAB figures on publications

I am asking a short question because I would like to have some opinions on the ideal dimensions that you require/use for a MATLAB figure in a publication. I am using a direct built-in function of MATLAB in order to generate a figure with appropriate dimensions but I keep being unsatisfied about the result... My LaTex text document is : width = 470 inches, height = 720 inches.

What do you think is more relevant ?

Thank you for your attention,

I would suggest to you save your figure using the function axis tight and define a function to export all your figures.

I've learned to avoid cropping the figure inside LaTeX to reduce compiling time, and I'm using the function below to export all my graphics. Complete Description. It exports figures like this one: Figure Example

function savefig_tight(h, outfilename)
    set(h,'Units','Inches');
    pos = get(h,'Position');
    set(h,'PaperPositionMode','Auto','PaperUnits','Inches','PaperSize',[pos(3), pos(4)]);
    print(outfilename ,'-dpdf','-fillpage');
end
