Text progress bar for ODEs

A simple text/console progress bar for the builtin ODE solvers

Description

If you're like me and have to run some ODE solvers in remote computers via telnet/ssh, you will find this simple output function very handy.

It just prints a progress bar in the console according to the status of the ODE. At the end of the computation prints the time between the initialization of the ODE solver and termination.

Great function to let you know the integrator's progress. The best feature is it's simplicity.
It appears that the demo file wasn't included in this zip file, but it's very simple to use, just add it as an output function in the odeset command. Here's an example:
      ops = odeset('OutputFcn',@odetpbar);
      [t,y] = ode45(@DiffEqns,Timespan,InitConditons,ops);
