progbar

progbar.m: general purpose progress bar for MATLAB

This is a script based progress bar for MATLAB, simple usage is very simple, more complex usage is available. multiple instances no problem.

NOTE: special consideration has been given to not slowing down your hyper-optimised loops, so you should find this better than the sort of progress bar you get for free in a box of cereal.

NOTE: updated 12/05/2010 to be even better (twice as good) at not slowing down your loops. i think i really need to get a life.

typical usage:
--------------
info.color='red';
info.title='hard work';
p=progbar(info);
for n=1:1000
% do hard work here...
progbar(p,n/1000*100);
end
progbar(p,-1);
