figIconNums

Replaces figure icons with figure numbers overlayed on a MATLAB icon

You are now following this Submission

This function allows you to more easily identify figures when Alt-Tabbing through windows.

Example:
>> figure(1)
>> figure(5)
>> figure(17)
>> figure(84)
>> figIconNums

figIconNums opens a dummy figure briefly to construct images from the figure numbers that are found by findobj. Only one- or two-digit figure numbers will display properly. The 'NumberTitle' property does not affect this display.
