maximize

Platform independent function to maximize a figure window.

You are now following this Submission

This function maximizes MATLAB figures on any platform, and any version of MATLAB at least as far back as 7.0 (possibly further). It takes a figure handle as input. Note: it doesn't simply resize the figure to fill the screen.
