Figures

Making figures in Matlab is hassle some. By default, the background is gray instead of white. The line thickness is 0.5pt instead of a prettier 1.5pt. Also the bounding box of the graphs are not 1.0pt but instead 0.5pt. And the labels are by default not using the .latex interpreter. To make matters worse, we cannot scale figure size by default -- rather a set of commands are required to adjust figure size.

To solve this, we introduce the fig() command.

Making a fig figure

% make figure of size (2^9) x (2^9) = 512 x 512 px
fig(101,[9,9]);
ezplot(@(x) sin(x^2));

xlabel('$x$');
ylabel('$\sin(x^2)$');

How about standard Matlab?
