PACKFIG is the jGraph module of jLab.

 PACKFIG  Squeeze together rows and/or columns of the current figure.
   
    PACKFIG(M,N) squeezes together all rows and columns in the current 
    figure, which has M rows and N columns generated with SUBPLOT. This is
    used when all subplots in a given column share common x- and y-axes.
   
    PACKFIG(M,N,'columns') only packs the columns, and not the rows.
    PACKFIG(M,N,'rows') only packs the rows, and not the columns.
 
    When the columns are packed, the Y-axis tick labels for the interior 
    subplots are removed.  Similarly, when the rows are packed, the X-axis
    tick labels for the interior subplots are removed.
 
    H=PACKFIG(M,N) returns a vector of handles H into the subplots.
 
    PACKFIG(H,M,N) also works, where H is a vector of handles.
 
    After calling PACKFIG, do not call SUBPLOT again, as this will destroy
    the subplots; instead, access the subplots through AXES(H(I)) where I 
    is an integer.

    Use with AXIS EQUAL
 
    PACKFIG may not work when AXIS EQUAL and AXIS([A B C D]) are used 
    together because of the way Matlab constricts the figure with AXIS 
    EQUAL. Consider altering the aspect ratio with 
 
        set(gcf,'paperposition',[left bottom width height]) 
 
    or
 
        set(gcf,'position',[left bottom width height]) 
 
    in order to obtain the desired result.
