> Any ideas how to save invisible figures, but have them open as visible?

I have made a function that changes the visible parameter on a saved .fig file, thus make a fig file saved invisible open as visible. It looks like this:

function makevisible(file)
f=load(file,'-mat');
n=fieldnames(f);
f.(n{1}).properties.Visible='on';
save(file,'-struct','f')
end

Just save this to makevisible.m and call makevisible('figure.fig'). Note that the .fig extension is necessary.
