Description: A tool to facilitate positioning of figures on the screen.

   Usage:   pos(figure) or pos figure

            example: "pos(3)" or "pos 3" returns the message 
            Clipboard contains: set(3,'position',[1717 532 560 420]); 
            Paste this (CTRL-V) after your figure(3); command in your m-file. 
            The next time you run the m-file, the figure will return to this position/size 
   
   Inputs:  figure number (takes current figure if called without argument)
   
   Outputs: stores a command on the clipboard
