create_positions(ro​ws, columns)

create_positions creates outerposition vectors for desired figure grid

CREATE_POSITIONS creates outerposition vectors for desired figure grid
function position = create_positions(rows, columns)
INPUT
rows: Vector of desired number of rows per monitor
columns: Vector of desired number of columns per monitor
OUTPUT
position: Array with desired outerposition vectors

------------------------------------------
EXAMPLE 1
desired: A 5 by 4 grid for figures
position = create_positions(5, 4);
position is a 20 by 4 matrix containing the position vectors.
numbering of positions is top to bottom left to right.

------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 2
desired: A 5 by 4 grid for figures on the second screen
position = create_positions([0 5], [0 4]);
position is a 20 by 4 by 2 array containing the position vectors.
position(:,:,1) is an array containing only nan's
position(:,:,2) contains the position vectors for the second screen

------------------------------------------

EXAMPLE 3
desired: A 5 by 4 grid for figures on the first screen, a 3 by 7 grid for
figures on the second screen and a 3 by 3 grid for figures on the third
screen.
position = create_positions([5 3 3], [4 7 3]);
position is a 21 by 4 by 3 array containing the position vectors.
position(1:20,:,1) contains the position vectors for the first screen
position(1:21,:,2) contains the position vectors for the second screen
position(1:9,:,3) contains the position vectors for the third screen

------------------------------------------

WORKING EXAMPLE
position = create_positions([5 3], [4 7]);

for i = 1:20
set(figure, 'Outerposition', position(i,:,1))
end

for i = 1:21
set(figure, 'Outerposition', position(i,:,2))
end

Hence we get a 5x4 grid of figures on monitor 1 without overlapping the
taskbar and a 3x7 grid of figures on monitor 2.
