Convenience functions to dock & undock figures.

dock(hFig)
function dock(hFig)
%DOCK specified figure(s).
%   DOCK(H) sets the WindowsStyle property of the specified figure(s) to
%       Docked. This syntax is simpler than set(h,'WindowStyle','Docked').
%
%   DOCK without any inputs simply docks the current figure window.
