[X,m]=getscreen(varargin)

function [X,m]=getscreen(varargin)
%GETSCREEN replacement for GETFRAME for systems with multiple monitors. Use it just like you use GETFRAME.
%Can also be used to take screenshots of non-MATLAB windows. Requires JAVA.
%
%Calling options:
% Output X is m*n*3 cdata array. Output m is corresponding colormap (if applicable.)
% [X,m]=getscreen         Gets screenshot of current figure
% [X,m]=getscreen(h)      Gets screenshot of axes or figure with handle h
% [X,m]=getscreen(h,rect) Gets screenshot of at position rect relative to axes or figure with handle h.
% [X,m]=getscreen(rect) Gets screenshot of whatever is on your screen at position vector rect. (Relative to bottom left corner.)
%   rect is a 4 element position vector in pixel units, referenced from bottom left as usual for MATLAB.
