Create/access figures by name

Create figures by specifying a string identifier rather than a number

Description

MYFIGURE's behavior is very similar to figure.
The first parameter however can be string instead of a number

For example, instead of calling:

>> figure(1)
 
you can now conveniently use:

>> myfigure('error plot');
