function figResize(px, py, pwidth, pheigth)
% ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Figure resizing and positioning
% px = orizzontal position in fraction of screen width
% py = vertical position in fraction of screen heigth
% pwidth = width in fraction of screen width
% pheigth = heigth in fraction of screen heigth
% example: figResize(0, 1, 1, .3);
