Editor's Note: This was a File Exchange Pick of the Week

SETPOS/GETPOS are two flexible wrappers to set/get the "Position" property of graphics objects (figure, axes, uicontrol).

SETPOS(H,POS) works as SET(H,'Position',POS) and GETPOS(H) works as GET(H,'Position') but :

Both can set/get data using different unit for each element of the 'Position' vector.

Both can manage each element [Left,Bottom,Width,Height] individually without the others.

Both can use any graphics object HREF as position reference, instead of the parent of H. (Added in V1.1)

SETPOS contains a +/- feature that increase/decrease the corresponding value in the 'Position' vector.

Please contact me directly by email for bug report or enhancement request.
