Editor's Note: This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week
Alters a figure so that it has the minimum size necessary to
enclose all axes in the figure without excess space around them.
Works for figures containing multiple axes as subplots.
Note that tightfig will expand the figure to completely encompass all
axes if necessary.
Returns an error if the figure contains any 3D axes which have been zoomed.
