STOPLOOP (v1.0, jun 2008) 1.0

STOPLOOP - creates stop button to have a user interrupt a loop FS = STOPLOOP creates a message box window and returns a structure FS thatholds two functions, called FS.Stop and FS.Clear. The function FS.Stop()will return true, if the OK button has been clicked (or the message boxhas been removed), so that a loop can be interrupted.The function FS.Clear() can be used to remove the message box, if a loop has ended without user interruption. FS = STOPLOOP(STR) uses the string STR to display instead of the default'Stop the Loop'. Example: tic ; % We will measure elapsed time in a loop % Set up the stop box: FS = stoploop({'Stop me before', '5 seconds have elapsed'}) ; % Display elapsed time fprintf('nSTOPLOOP: elapsed time (s): %5.2fn',toc) % start the loop while(~FS.Stop() && toc < 5), % Check if the loop has to be stopped fprintf('%c',repmat(8,6,1)) ; % clear up previous time fprintf('%5.2fn',toc) ; % display elapsed time end FS.Clear() ; % Clear up the box clear FS ; % this structure has no use anymoreVersion 1.0, jun 2008Inspired by several posts on the FEX on "how to interrupt a loop?"
