NEW_FIGURE Creates a new figure window
Works as a plain call of the standard *figure* function (a
call without an input argument), but has two options for which
figure to open:
append: The number of the new figure will have number n+1,
where n is the old maximum figure number.
fill : The new figure will be placed in the first free slot.
The *figure* uses the 'fill' strategy.
FORMAT h = new_figure( [strategy] )
OUT h
OPT strategy Open strategy, see above. Default is 'append'.0001 % NEW_FIGURE Creates a new figure window 0002 % 0003 % Works as a plain call of the standard *figure* function (a 0004 % call without an input argument), but has two options for which 0005 % figure to open: 0006 % 0007 % append: The number of the new figure will have number n+1, 0008 % where n is the old maximum figure number. 0009 % fill : The new figure will be placed in the first free slot. 0010 % 0011 % The *figure* uses the 'fill' strategy. 0012 % 0013 % FORMAT h = new_figure( [strategy] ) 0014 % 0015 % OUT h 0016 % OPT strategy Open strategy, see above.
