fancybox

A more flexible way to change the appearance of the axis box

Key features:
- Plot the axis box as a dashed line, dotted line, etc.
- Plot tick marks, tick labels, and axis box as different colors
- Most properties of the original axis are preserved
SYNTAX:
fancybox('PropertyName',propertyvalue,...)
hb = fancybox('PropertyName',propertyvalue,...)
PROPERTIES: (Name-value pairs)
'XTickColor' - Color of the X Tick markers
'k'(default)| RGB Triplet | Color String | 'none'
'YTickColor' - Color of the Y Tick Markers
'k'(default)| RGB Triplet | Color String | 'none'
'TickColor' - Color of both X and Y markers (overrides any
assignment to YTickColor or XTickColor
Any property of the patch class (the axis box takes on these properties)

DESCRIPTION:
fancybox('PropertyName',propertyvalue,...)
Plots a more flexible axis box outline, with the option to change
color, linestyle, thickness and alpha of the box. Tick markers can
be plotted as seperate different colours. Returns a patch handle
for the box outline if an output is specified

EXAMPLE:

figure('color','w')
subplot(2,2,1)
z = peaks;
contour(z,11)
xlabel('x')
ylabel('y')
fancybox('EdgeColor','r','linestyle',':','TickColor','r')
subplot(2,2,2)
x = linspace(-2,2,101);
plot(x,2*x.^3-3*x+1);
fancybox('EdgeColor','b','linestyle','--')
subplot(2,2,3)
z = magic(15);
contourf(z)
set(gca,'ticklength',[0.03 0])
hb = fancybox('EdgeColor','g','linestyle','-.','linewidth',3,'YTickColor','g');
subplot(2,2,4)
plot(x,sin(x),'r:')
fancybox('EdgeAlpha',0.5)

This function has been tested on MATLAB 2015a and 2015b
