hmmm, this is way to simple. It might only be handy if you do not know the command FIGURE, but probably then you would not need this function too ...

Furthermore, it contains no help or example, or a H1 line but why bother

No help, nor hardly any reason to exist.

Well thought of. I have been searching the documentation for ages to find how to do this.
When to use: after initiating a wait bar and some graphics are plotted on an axes, the waitbar gets covered. Use this to bring the wait bar back before updating it.

While this is very basic, it is not obvious with MATLAB documentation. This was easy to search and exactly what I needed.

thanks.
