A MATLAB function to remove white space around figures

https://github.com/jdonley/tightfigadv

You are now following this Submission

This MATLAB function removes all excess white space from a figure by searching through child axes, legends, colorbars and text labels to find the outer most objects.
The function extends tightfig() for use with HG2, colorbars, legends and previously moved text labels.
Manually positioning text labels does not update TightInset values and so their equivalent values are computed using Extent values and parent Position values.

Future additions may include support for positioning of annotations, tick labels and tick label exponents.
