Description
A tool to set the margins, papersize, align labels, etc...
   Usage:   setplot(fig, figsize, margins, fontsize, fontname)  
            defaults:   
            setplot(gcf, [], [0.5 1 0 1.5 1.5 0], 10, 'Times');

   Inputs:  fig = figure handle   
            figsize = [figwidth figheight] in cm  
                          *1       *2  (see figure below)  
            margins = [top bottom rows left right cols] in cm  
                        *m1  *m2  *m3  *m4   *m5  *m6  (see figure below)  
                      note that m3 and m6 are not absolute. They can be used to  
                      add extra positive or negative spacing between cols/rows   
            fontsize = size of the font                
            fontname = type of fontfile:

           |        __________         __________        | _ _ _*m1   ^

           |                                             |      *m3   |  
           |        __________         __________        | _ _ _     *2  
           |   y   |          |       |          |       |            |   
           |   l   | subplot3 |       | subplot4 |       |            .  
           |   b   |          |       |          |       |            |   
           |   l   |__________|       |__________|       | _ _ _      .   
           |          xlabel             xlabel          |      *m2   |   
           |_____________________________________________| _ _ _ _ _ _v_   
           
           |       |          |       |          |       |  
           |<-*m4->|          |<-*m6->|          |<-*m5->|  
           |<-------------- *1 ------------------------->|  
      
   
   Outputs: none    

Especially useful in combination with the figure saving tool (saver.m)
