makeFullAxes( axh )

function makeFullAxes( axh )
%makeFullAxes: make some axes fill the available space
%
%   makeFullAxes(axh) turns of axis labels etc for the axes in AXH and
%   makes the axes fill the available space. In practical terms this just
%   means setting the axes position to be the axes outer-position.
%
%   makeFullAxes(figh) applies the changes to all axes in the figure FIGH.
