% SHAREDATA_DEMO     -     A GUI that gets user input from a dialog box
%
%   SHAREDATA_DEMO   opens up sample plotting GUI. The user specifies 
%   parameters for the plot using a dialog box (SAMPLE_DIALOG); these
%   parameters are used to update the plot.
%
%   This example demonstrates how to:
%   1) Share data between a secondary gui (in this case, a dialog box) and 
%      the main gui.
%   2) Handle situations where the user cancels the dialog or closes
%      the dialog window.
