Help text

PREPAREHG Method to ready a Figure for printing.
   Modify properties of a Figure and its children based on property values 
   and PrintJob state. Changes include color of objects and size of Figure 
   on screen if a ResizeFcn needs to be called.
   Creates and returns a structure with fields containing various data
   we have to save for restoration of the Figure and its children.

   Ex:
      pj = PREPAREHG( pj, h ); %modifies PrintJob object pj and Figure h

   See also PRINT, PREPARE, RESTORE, RESTOREHG.

%Fun with resize functions.
%--------------------------
%Make Figure the size it is going to be while printing (i.e. PaperPosition).
%This will cause the user's ResizeFcn to be called while the Figure is
%still at screen resolution. This gives the user a chance to move and
%resize things the way s/he wants. Afterwards the ResizeFcn is nulled,
%always, so that the resizing of the Figure that happens internally
%when changing to the driver resolution does not cause any 
%weird results. For the same reason, objects in Pixel units are
%set to Points so they do not draw screenDPI/driverDPI too small or big.
