### The three plots have now an unknown tag.

In this case, we assume that the plots are not relevant and are therefore put in a non-interesting screen area (top-right).

close all
figure('Tag','aaaaa'); spmplot(Y1); hmain=gcf;
figure('Tag','bbbbb'); spmplot(Y2);
figure('Tag',''); spmplot(Y3);
position(hmain);

## Input Arguments

### plmain — Figure handle. Scalar.

The handle of a 'main' figure to be positioned at the top-left side of the screen, which is supposed to be the position attracting first the attention of a user.

- If plmain not given, or it is empty, it is set to be the smaller handle, which normally is the handle of the first created figure.

- If plmain is set to zero (0), then function cascade is applied.
