WORKBAR

Efficient and stylish alternative to WAITBAR.

WORKBAR Graphically monitors progress of calculations
WORKBAR(X) creates and displays the workbar with the fractional length
"X". It is an alternative to the built-in matlab function WAITBAR,
Featuring:
- Doesn't slow down calculations
- Stylish progress look
- Requires only a single line of code
- Displays time remaining
- Display time complete
- Capable of title and description
- Only one workbar can exist (avoids clutter)

WORKBAR(X, MESSAGE) sets the fractional length of the workbar as well as
setting a message in the workbar window.

WORKBAR(X, MESSAGE, TITLE) sets the fractional length of the workbar,
message and title of the workbar window.

WORKBAR is typically used inside a FOR loop that performs a lengthy
computation. A sample usage is shown below:

for i = 1:10000
% Calculation
workbar(i/10000,'Performing Calclations...','Progress')
end

Another example:

for i = 1:10000
% Calculation
if i < 2000,
workbar(i/10000,'Performing Calclations (Step 1)...','Step 1')
elseif i < 4000
workbar(i/10000,'Performing Calclations (Step 2)...','Step 2')
elseif i < 6000
workbar(i/10000,'Performing Calclations (Step 3)...','Step 3')
elseif i < 8000
workbar(i/10000,'Performing Calclations (Step 4)...','Step 4')
else
workbar(i/10000,'Performing Calclations (Step 5)...','Step 5')
end
end
