GetPeakPos (yaxis, xaxis, treshhold)
%GetPeakPos
%
%This function calculates the peak maxima of a signal. The function looks
%for peaks based on the first and second derivative.
%
%Syntax:
%   pos = GetPeakPos (yaxis, xaxis, treshhold)
%
%With:
%   yaxis: the spectrum
%   xaxis: the corresponding xaxis
%   treshhold: a tyhreshold for the second derivative
%
%Examples:
%   peaks = GetPeakPos (spectrum, xaxis, 1e-4)
