FigPos
This is a general figure management function for changing the size and position of all figures with simple commands. It is helpful if you produce a lot of figures during daily Matlab use.
With a one-word command it automatically sorts all open figures to fit onto the screen.
Some other features include:
- Automatically or manually place a figure anywhere on a rectangular grid.
- Cascade figures.
- Change the window state of all figures (e.g. maximise).
- A basic bin-packing algorithm to make all figures visible on the screen without resizing or overlapping (subject to if they can fit).
- Supports multiple monitors.
- Choose which figures to include or exclude.
All features are described in detail in the function.
