quadgui(F,a,b,tol,varargin)
function [Q,fcount] = quadgui(F,a,b,tol,varargin)
%QUADGUI  Demonstrate numerical evaluation of a definite integral.
%   Q = QUADGUI(F,A,B) shows the steps in approximating the integral
%   of F(x) from A to B by adaptive extrapolated Simpson's quadrature.
%
%   The shaded area shows the integral over the current subinterval.
%   The color switches to green when the desired accuracy is obtained.
%
%   Q = QUADGUI(F,A,B,tol) uses the given tolerance instead of 1.e-4.
%
%   F is a string defining a function of a single variable, an inline
%   function, a function handle, or a symbolic expression involving a
%   single variable.  Arguments to QUADGUI beyond the first four,
%   Q = QUADGUI(F,a,b,tol,p1,p2,...), are passed on to the integrand,
%   F(x,p1,p2,..).
%
%   [Q,fcount] = QUADGUI(F,...) also counts the number of evaluations
%   of F(x).
%   
%   Examples:
%      quadgui(@humps,0,1)
%      quadgui(@humps,0,1,1.e-6)
%      quadgui(@humps,-1,2)
%      quadgui('sin(x)',0,pi,1.e-8)
%      quadgui('cos(x)',0,(9/2)*pi,1.e-6)
%      quadgui('sqrt(x)',0,1,1.e-8)
%      quadgui('-sqrt(x)*log(x)',eps,1,1.e-8)
%      quadgui('1/(3*x-1)',0,1)
%      quadgui('t^(8/3)*(1-t)^(10/3)',0,1,1.e-8)
%      betafun = inline('t^p*(1-t)^q','t','p','q')
%      quadgui(betafun,0,1,1.e-10,15,2)
