Switching current figure by name silently

[Haifeng GONG]

function hr = get_figure(name)

% If we switch current figure in a loop, Matlab brings the figure to
the front.
% If the program runs a long time, this behavior is boring while we
are working on other program simultaneously.
% This function will suppress this unwanted behavior.


h = findobj('Name', name);

for ii=1:length(h)
if strcmp('figure', get(h, 'Type')) ~=0
%figure(h(ii));
hr = h(ii);
set(0, 'CurrentFigure', hr);
return;
end
end

hr = figure('Name', name);
