tightfig

Remove excess margins from figures.

Description

Alters a figure so that it has the minimum size necessary to
enclose all axes in the figure without excess space around them.

Works for figures containing multiple axes as subplots.

Note that tightfig will expand the figure to completely encompass all
axes if necessary.

Returns an error if the figure contains any 3D axes which have been zoomed.

Great work... i was just going to implement it myself... but here it is ;) Thank you.

Just a minor issue:
Restoring the original axes units fails when there is only a single axes object in the figure:
            
set(hax(i), 'Units', origaxunits{i});

... since origaxunits is no cell array then. A simple if else does the trick.

Thanks Thomas, I've submitted a new version with the fix.
