function maximize(h)
Input parameters
-----------------
h handle(s) of the figure window
Output parameters
------------------
The function has no output parameters.
Used files
-----------
- windowMaximize.dll
Examples
---------
% maximize the current figure
------------------------------
maximize;
% maximize the current figure
------------------------------
maximize(gcf);
% maximize the specified figure
--------------------------------
h = figure;
maximize(h);
% maximize the application window
----------------------------------
maximize(0);
% maximize more than one figure
--------------------------------
h(1) = figure;
h(2) = figure;
maximize(h);
% maximize all figures
-----------------------
maximize('all');
% maximize a GUI in the OpeningFcn
-----------------------------------
% --- Executes just before untitled is made visible.
function untitled_OpeningFcn(hObject, eventdata, handles, varargin)
% This function has no output args, see OutputFcn.
% hObject handle to figure
% eventdata reserved - to be defined in a future version of MATLAB
% handles structure with handles and user data (see GUIDATA)
% varargin command line arguments to untitled (see VARARGIN)
% Choose default command line output for untitled
handles.output = hObject;
% Update handles structure
guidata(hObject, handles);
% UIWAIT makes untitled wait for user response (see UIRESUME)
% uiwait(handles.figure1);
% maximize the GUI
set(hObject,'Visible','on');
