buffer()

function b = buffer()
% BUFFER - constructor
%    The class buffer implements a buffer for matrices of any type.
%    Initialize a buffer with the constructor and assign the result
%    to a variable, for example:
%      buf = buffer
%    To store data use the method store:
%      buf = store(bla,[1:10000])
%    To read out the data concatenated columnwise, use the flush 
%    method:
%      result = flush(buf);
%    To read out the data concatenated rowwise, use the flush
%    method with the optional dimension parameter (see CAT):
%      result = flush(buf,1);
%    To reset the buffer, just create a new buffer:
%      buf = buffer
