Plays a matlab movie, with the option of using a slider

playmovie(varargin)
function playmovie(varargin)
% Plays a matlab movie
%
% USAGE:
%   playmovie(m,fps,n,option)
%
% EXAMPLES:
%   playmovie('C:\MATLAB6p5\work\animation.mat')
%   playmovie(mov,2,1,'slider')
%   playmovie(mov,1,'fullscreen','slider')
%
% DESCRIPTION:
%   Plays the movie frames movieframes
%   n times at frmprsc frames per second
%   The default values for n and frmprsc
%   are 1 and 2 frames per second
%   movieframes can also be a filename of
%   a .mat file containing the
%   movie frames
%   The name of the variable does
%   not matter as long as there
%   is only one variable
%
% NOTES:
%   if option is equal to 'slider'
%   a slider is placed at the bottom
%   of the figure which allows
%   for sections to be played
%   if option is equal to 'fullscreen'
%   the movie frames are displayed in
%   a full screen type mode, otherwise
%   frames are displayed in true size
%   When using the fullscreen mode
%   and the movie ends, press any key
%   to close the figure
%
%   More than one option can be used at
%   the same time
%
