- MAGN_FACTOR: magnification factor (any positive number). Only effective when DIM=[]. Default: 1
- BG_COLOR : If specified, the figure window background color will be changed. You can specify a color using a three-element vector of RGB values or one of the MATLAB predefined names (short name: 'y', 'm', 'c', 'r', 'g', 'b', 'w', 'k')
