Shifts set of spectra to a new Maximum position

from Shifts set of spectra to a new Maximum position by Kateryna Artyushkova
Three functions allowing to shift set of spectra to the same or different maximum of peaks

indd=match(x,y, tol,bro)
function indd=match(x,y, tol,bro)
%   MATCH  function INDD=MATCH(X, Y, TOL, BRO) find the closest
%	values to X in vector Y with tolerance TOL. If TOL  is omitted, the
%   default  value of 1e-6 will be used. CAUTION: Using too small tolerance may
%   exclude some points from results (run example below with tol=0.005)
%   BRO=0 by default and can also be omitted
%   If BRO=0, then all indices of values of Y within the tolerance TOL vill be
%   included in the output. If BRO=1 then one (last or first) value within each range
%   will be reported.  If BRO>1 then one minimum value for each range
%   will be included in output. Value of BRO defines indices range for
%   minimum matching value search (rule of thumb- the coarser your TOL 
%   the bigger BRO should be. Use BRO= twice the maximum number of
%   matching values for each matching point)
%   (Run example below with a=match(val,y,tol, 1);
%   and tol=0.01; to compare outputs)
%	For example:
%	xx=0:0.01:35; y=sin(xx) + cos(xx ./3); 
%	plot(xx,y); grid; hold on;
%	val=1.04; tol=0.05;
%	a=match(val,y,tol); plot(xx(a),y(a),'r.');  % All matching values
%   aa=match(val,y,tol,1);  plot(xx(aa),y(aa),'ms'); % Single value per range
%   aaa=match(val,y,tol,20);  plot(xx(aaa),y(aaa),'go'); % Min value
