15.2.5 Multiple Plot Windows

You can open multiple plot windows using the figure function. For example,

     figure (1);
     fplot (@sin, [-10, 10]);
     figure (2);
     fplot (@cos, [-10, 10]);

creates two figures, with the first displaying a sine wave and the second a cosine wave. Figure numbers must be positive integers.

— Command: figure
— Command: figure n
— Function File: figure (n)
— Function File: figure (..., "property", value, ...)
— Function File: h = figure (...)

Create a new figure window for plotting.

If no arguments are specified, a new figure with the next available number is created.

If called with an integer n, and no such numbered figure exists, then a new figure with the specified number is created. If the figure already exists then it is made visible and becomes the current figure for plotting.

Multiple property-value pairs may be specified for the figure object, but they must appear in pairs.

The optional return value h is a graphics handle to the created figure object.
