Saving a figure in full screen size?

Hello,
I am trying to save a matlab figure in PNG format, I wish to have a full screen size image. I have tried the following two scripts, in both cases the figure is visualized in full screen size, but the PNG file I get is smaller. Could anyone help me to fix this issue?
I thank you in advance. Giuseppe
figure('units','normalized','outerposition',[0 0 1 1])
plot([0,1], [0,1])
print('foos', '-dpng', '-r0');
or
figure; set(gcf, 'Position', get(0, 'Screensize'));
plot([0,1], [0,1])
print('foos', '-dpng', '-r0');

 Accepted Answer

FigH = figure('Position', get(0, 'Screensize'));
F = getframe(FigH);
imwrite(F.cdata, 'Foos.png', 'png')

Thank you so much, now it works!!!
BTW, what was wrong in the code I made?
print does not use the screen resolution and position, but the PaperSize, PaperUnits and PaperPosition properties of the figure, because it is intentionally thought for printing on paper.
How about if i want to save the image after imwrite?

To extend the answer from Jan, you can also use "saveas" command instead of imwrite
FigH = figure('Position', get(0, 'Screensize'));
saveas(FigH, 'Foos.png','png');
