SETPOS 1.2 - GETPOS 1.2

Two flexible wrappers to manage graphics object position.

Description

SETPOS/GETPOS are two flexible wrappers to set/get the "Position" property of graphics objects (figure, axes, uicontrol).

SETPOS(H,POS) works as SET(H,'Position',POS) and GETPOS(H) works as GET(H,'Position') but :

Both can set/get data using different unit for each element of the 'Position' vector.

Both can manage each element [Left,Bottom,Width,Height] individually without the others.

Both can use any graphics object HREF as position reference, instead of the parent of H. (Added in V1.1)

SETPOS contains a +/- feature that increase/decrease the corresponding value in the 'Position' vector.

Please contact me directly by email for bug report or enhancement request.

Very useful utility. H1-line, error checking, cleanly written and well commented code. Well done.

Quite usefull. Well done. Good help, albeit what long.
There is a possible name class with setpos in the signal toolbox.

[Jos x@y.z]

I have to take back my comment about the naming conflict: setpos is a private function of the SP toolbox.
