Description

A tool to set the margins, papersize, align labels, etc...

   Usage:   setplot(fig, figsize, margins, fontsize, fontname)  
            defaults:   
            setplot(gcf, [], [0.5 1 0 1.5 1.5 0], 10, 'Times');

   Inputs:  fig = figure handle   
            figsize = [figwidth figheight] in cm  
                          *1       *2  (see figure below)  
            margins = [top bottom rows left right cols] in cm  
                        *m1  *m2  *m3  *m4   *m5  *m6  (see figure below)  
                      note that m3 and m6 are not absolute. They can be used to  
                      add extra positive or negative spacing between cols/rows   
            fontsize = size of the font                
            fontname = type of fontfile:
