Figure Positioning Tool

Description

A tool to facilitate positioning of figures on the screen.

Usage

Manually position the figure with number fignr at a desired location and adjust the size if necessary. Run the function pos(fignr) in the command prompt of matlab. This will copy a command similar to

set(1,'position',[1400 530 560 420]); 

to your clipboard. Next, paste this line after the figure(fignr); command in your m-file (use CTRL-V). The next time you run the m-file, the figure will be positioned at the desired location.
