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.

 -- : figure
 -- : figure N
 -- : figure (N)
 -- : figure (..., "PROPERTY", VALUE, ...)
 -- : 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.

     Note: Figure Properties.
