Manage and Dock Figures into Group

SETFIGDOCKED allows docking figures at specified positions in group of figures whose structure is

Description

group = setfigdocked('PropertyName1',value1,'PropertyName2',value2,...)
  PropertyName:
      - GroupName name of group need to be generated
      - GridSize scalar or vector quantity, defines number of rows
                    and columns of cell in group
      - SpanCell vector or matrix quantity, size n x 4,
                    [row col occupiedrows occupiedcols]
                    build an cell at the position (row, col) in group
                    cell (GridSize) which occupies "occupiedrows"
                    rows and "occupiedcols" columns
      - Figure handle of figure
      - Figindex index position of figure in group cell
      - Maximize 0/1, maximize group
      - GroupDocked 0/1, dock group

Example:
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','GridSize',3,'SpanCell',[1 2 2 2]);
         im1 = imread('cameraman.tif');
         figure;imshow(im1);set(gcf,'Name','Cameraman','NumberTitle','off')
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Figure',gcf,'Figindex',2);
 
         figure; edge(im1,'prewitt');set(gcf,'Name','Prewitt method','NumberTitle','off')
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Figure',gcf,'Figindex',1);
 
         figure; edge(im1,'roberts');set(gcf,'Name','Roberts method','NumberTitle','off')
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Figure',gcf,'Figindex',3);

         figure; edge(im1,'roberts');set(gcf,'Name','Roberts method','NumberTitle','off')
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Figure',gcf,'Figindex',4);

         figure; edge(im1,'roberts');set(gcf,'Name','Roberts method','NumberTitle','off')
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Figure',gcf,'Figindex',5);

         figure; edge(im1,'canny');set(gcf,'Name','Canny Method','NumberTitle','off')
         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Figure',gcf,'Figindex',6);

         group = setfigdocked('GroupName','Image and Edges','Maximize',1,'GroupDocked',0);

SWEET !!!
Great job. I've been searching the Matlab Java Archives for the appropriate objects/methods/properties for (almost) years and just could not find them. The docking of figures into seperate containers is a great way to organize your work-flow, if you have lots of figures to work with at the same time and don't want to get lost. I'll highly recommend to look into this ...
