+function h=subplot_tight(m,n,p,margins,varargin)
+%function subplot_tight(m,n,p,margins,varargin)
+%
+% Functional purpose: A wrapper function for Matlab function subplot. Adds the ability to define the margins between
+% neighbouring subplots. Unfotrtunately Matlab subplot function lacks this functionality, and the margins between
+% subplots can reach 40% of figure area, which is pretty lavish.  
+%
+% Input arguments (defaults exist):
+%   margins- two elements vector [vertical,horizontal] defining the margins between neighbouring axes. Default value
+%            is 0.01. Note this vale will cause titles legends and labels to collide with the subplots, while presenting
+%            relatively large axis. 
+%
+% Output arguments: same as subplot- none, or axes handle according to function call.
+%
+% Issues & Comments: Note that if additional elements are used in order to be passed to subplot, margins parameter must
+%       be defined. For default margins value use empty element- [].

+% Usage example: h=subplot_tight((2,3,1:2,[0.5,0.2])
+
+if (nargin<4) || isempty(margins)
+    margins=[0.01,0.01]; % default margins value- 1% of figure
+end
+
+if length(margins)==1
+    margins(2)=margins;
+end
+
+%note n and m are switched as Matlab indexing is column-wise, while subplot indexing is row-wise :(
+[subplot_col,subplot_row]=ind2sub([n,m],p);  
+
+
+height=(1-(m+1)*margins(1))/m; % single subplot height
+width=(1-(n+1)*margins(2))/n;  % single subplot width
+
+% note subplot suppors vector p inputs- so a merged subplot of higher dimentions will be created
+subplot_cols=1+max(subplot_col)-min(subplot_col); % number of column elements in merged subplot 
+subplot_rows=1+max(subplot_row)-min(subplot_row); % number of row elements in merged subplot   
+
+merged_height=subplot_rows*( height+margins(1) )- margins(1);   % merged subplot height
+merged_width= subplot_cols*( width +margins(2) )- margins(2);   % merged subplot width
+
+merged_bottom=(m-max(subplot_row))*(height+margins(1)) +margins(1); % merged subplot bottom position
+merged_left=min(subplot_col)*(width+margins(2))-width;              % merged subplot left position
+pos_vec=[merged_left merged_bottom merged_width merged_height];
+
+% h_subplot=subplot(m,n,p,varargin{:},'Position',pos_vec);
+% Above line doesn't work as subplot tends to ignore 'position' when same mnp is utilized
+h_subplot=subplot('Position',pos_vec,varargin{:});
+
+if nargout~=0
+    h=h_subplot;
