%SPLITTING   CHEBFUN splitting option
%   SPLITTING ON allows the Chebfun constructor to split the interval by a
%   process of automatic subdivision and edge detection.  This option is
%   recommended when working with functions with singularities.

%   SPLITTING OFF disables this kind of automatic splitting, and is
%   recommended for working with functions that are complicated but still
%   smooth. Even with splitting off, breakpoints may still be introduced by
%   the MAX, MIN, ABS, CEIL, FLOOR, and ROUND commands.  One may switch
%   freely back and forth between the two modes during a Chebfun
%   computation.

%   SPLITTING is OFF by default, by itself, displays the current splitting
%   state,
