Extra options for fig: 'png' 'expand' 'normalize' 'wait' 'save'
Option: 'png' => specifies alternative output image format
Option: 'expand' => exapnds(maximizes) the axes within the figure window
Option: 'normalize' => normalizes the window to the screen size (fullscreen)
Option: 'wait' => waits before any for keypress "ENTER" after execution of all fomating(before 'save' and 'eval')
Option: 'save' => saves the changes made to the figure file in addition to the image output
Option: 'debug' => show which files were skiped over the conversion (i.e. are not *.fig files)
Extra options for fontsize using flags: 'fontsize1'/'fontsize2'/'fontsize3'/ ... /'fontsize100'

Internal Figure Handle Name: fig => the current figure handle
Internal axes Handle/Variable Placeholder: ax => empty variable, can be used for any purpose


OUTPUT: the output is the converted to image from the converted figure in
the specified format

EXAMPLE:
example 1: "convertFig2Eps" /or/ "convertFig2Eps()" /or/ "convertFig2Eps('.')"
example 2: "convertFig2Eps('C:','subdir','png','expand','normalize','fontsize100','save','eval:disp(fig.Number);')"
