Copies one figure into another figure and lets theusers move and resize the copied figure.

File Information
Description	Copies one figure into another figure and lets the users move and resize the copied figure. This utility is great if you need a figure in a figure and still would like to use MATLAB's export function. h = FIGCOPY the user selects both figures by mouse clicks. Please follow the instructions in the command window. First activate the figure to be copied. Second activate the "master" figure and select the lower left and upper right corner, where the copied figure should appear in the "master" figure. Click on the copied figure to move or resize it. (Don't worry, the resize markers will not be printed!) h is the handle of the copied figure. h = FIGCOPY(fc) fc specifies the figure number (handle) to be copied. The master figure is selected by mouse click. h = FIGCOPY(fc,fm) specifies the figure number to be copied and the figure number of the master figure.

28 Apr 2006	Kevin Chamness	When I use this function in Matlab R14SP3 on a figure with a legend, I get a new figure of the legend and not the actual plot axis.
27 Nov 2007	Dirk Tenne	The legend becomes a child of the new figure. Just move the legend and underneath you will see the copied axes.
01 Jun 2009	Nitika	Awesome! Works great! Thank you so much Dirk.
