help figure

FIGURE Create figure window.
FIGURE, by itself, creates a new figure window, and returns
its handle.

FIGURE(H) makes H the current figure, forces it to become visible,
and raises it above all other figures on the screen. If Figure H
does not exist, and H is an integer, a new figure is created with
handle H.

GCF returns the handle to the current figure.

Execute GET(H) to see a list of figure properties and
their current values. Execute SET(H) to see a list of figure
properties and their possible values.

See also subplot, axes, gcf, clf.
