BTW, "BackgroundColor" is even not the name of a property of figure 
handles in Matlab (the correct name is "Color"). I am saying this 
because figure also accepts "Position", which is the correct property 
name in Matlab. So, if the goal is to help portability, emulated Matlab 
property names should be the correct ones...
