Return the current figure handle. If a figure does not exist, create one and return its handle. The handle may then be used to examine or set properties of the figure. For example,
fplot (@sin, [-10, 10]); fig = gcf (); set (fig, "visible", "off");plots a sine wave, finds the handle of the current figure, and then makes that figure invisible. Setting the visible property of the figure to
"on"will cause it to be displayed again.
