Show figures

A quick, lightweight function that makes viewing specific figures faster and easier.

You are now following this Submission

This is a handy little function I wrote to save time when sorting through a barrage of figures when I know them by their handle number.

E.g. Say I wanted to look at figures 3,4, and 5... rather than making a loop using figure(ii) or sorting through them manually, you can just type:

show 345

*If you have double-digit figure numbers, you have to use the more conventional parentheses notation:

show(10:13)

Either way, if you happen to have a vector of figure numbers you will plot frequently you can just use that as the input.

Hope you find it useful!
