maximize

Maximize the figure window (multiple strategies implemented)

This function tries multiple solutions for maximizing the figure window, so it should work on nearly all releases of Matlab and Octave on nearly all OSes (Windows/Mac/Unix). This is written to be portable and shareable. If you know more solutions, please contact me, so I can add it to the list.

1 attempt to set the WindowState property to maximized
2 use JavaFrame to maximize the figure
3 press alt-space followed by x (Windows/Linux hotkey)
4 ugly solution: set the position to the screen size minus a small margin (this includes an attempt to check for a multiple monitor set up)
