\figureheight
Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 28/04/2010
According to the README file:
To specify the dimension of the plot from within the LaTeX document, try
>> matlab2tikz( 'myfile.tikz', 'height', '\figureheight', 'width', '\figurewidth' );
In fact, apparently you need a double backslash:
>> matlab2tikz( 'myfile.tikz', 'height', '\\figureheight', 'width', '\\figurewidth' );
(at least on Matlab 2009b)
Thanks for this excellent converter!

escape characters
Ah, the dreaded escape characters.. I'll try to fix this in the next release.
Thanks for the hint!
