%---------------- Redistribute subplots over the available area ------------------
%
% Usage:
% In your own code save all subplot axes handles to a matrix
% e.g.
% for y_coord=1:1:y_plot_size
% for x_coord=1:1:x_plot_size
% axes_handles(x_coord,y_coord)=subplot(y_plot_size,x_plot_size,(y_coord-1)*(x_plot_size)+x_coord);
% % Create the figure you want to put in the subplot here.
% end
% end
% % Then call this function
% RedistributeSubplots(axes_handles,x_plot_size,y_plot_size,0, 0)
%
% Bugs:
% The margins are an adhoc enhancement and accidentally move the
% first row of subplots down and the last column to the right. As a result
% of this repeated application of the algorithm with non-zero margins will
% create ever larger top and right margins.
