    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Case 1.

close all; figure;

This opens "Figure 1".
Now close the figure with [x] and type figure again.
The new figure is "Figure 2". Typing figure(1) does not bring the original
figure back but close(1); figure(1) does.

Problem: [x] should behave the same as close;


Case 2.

close all
h=figure(1); set(h,'Position', [60, 600, 400, 330]);
plot(1:10)
h=figure(1); set(h,'Position', [60, 600, 1400, 330]);
plot(1:20)

The figure size is not updated to the larger width 1400.

Problem: once a figure is created, it can't be resized.



BTW my graphics backend is gnuplot. I know this is legacy but I can't use the
newer graphics on this computer - the libraries seem to conflict with the GPU
(way beyond my skill level).

octave:84> graphics_toolkit 
ans = gnuplot
