Useful Figure Management Utilities
Editor's Note: This file was selected as MATLAB Central Pick of the Week
This package contains 3 trivial figure management utilities I can't live without:
SHOWMETHEFIGS Allow user to cycle between all figures by hitting any key
FIGSHIFT Cascades current figure window away from previous figure
FILLSCREEN Set a figure size to completely fill the screen. NOTE: There's a better version built into MATLAB since R2018a. Just set the WindowState property to 'maximized'

Sorry about that, Chung! I didn't realize that my updated version wasn't live on the File Exchange. I just submitted the update - should be live as soon as it goes through our brief internal review process. Email me directly if you want an update sooner.
Error with MATLAB 2014b.
Undefined function 'minus' for input arguments of type 'matlab.ui.Figure'.

Fillscreen maximises figures, it doesn't make them full-screen. My quest continues.
