quickgui

brings up a tiny gui. use it e.g. to stop a loop inside a function by pressing a button.

i use it in for or while loops, if i want the user to be able to interrupt the loop at any time (an easier solution would of course be hm=msgbox('stop') and check for ~ishandle(hm). anyway, in quickgui, the user can define and use any (or all) of three buttons, which e.g. can be used to pass instructions inside a loop at any time, without the need for stopping the loop and waiting for the user.
