This function works just like the figure command in MATLAB except that you reference figures by names instead of figure handles. (you can still use the handles though)
H=fig('My figure')
The title of the window of the figure will now be 'My figure'. You can also set figure properties with the same call:
fig('My figure','renderer','opengl');
It will also place the figure window on the monitor with the current mouse position.
