getfigure

This function adds a new menu item in the current figure for easy import/copy of one (or all) plot line or axis from another figure.

The first call to this function adds the getfigure menu (in the current figure) and the second call deletes the getfigure menu (from the current figure).

Actions that can be done with the new getfigure menu item:

• Get the content of another figure (the whole figure) into the current figure (create an exact-size duplicate)
• Get the content of another figure (the whole figure) into the current figure (create a duplicate)
• Get the content of another axes into the current figure (keeping the relative location of the axis)
• Get the content of another axes into the current figure (using the default axis size in the current figure)
• Copy all the contents (lines, etc.) of another axes into the current axis of the figure
• Get one line from another figure
• Get one line from another figure subsampling the information (reducing the number of points)
• Undo the last 'Get' (always usefull...)
• Cancel (just to cancel the current 'Get/Copy' action)
• Reorder the visual stacking: send one line to the front, back, forward or backward
• Select one object and call inspector(of the object) (always usefull...)
• Select axes and change the properties of all lines or quivers (all at the same time): Color, Linestyle,...
