%	PEAKDETECT peak detection
%
%	[pospeakind,negpeakind]=peakdetect(signal)
%
%	The positive and negative polarity (concave down and up) peak index vectors are
%	generated from the signal vector and graphically displayed.  Positive and negative
%	polarity peaks occur at points of positive to negative and negative to positive
%	slope adjacency, respectively.  The typically rare contingencies of peaks
%	occurring at the lagging edges of constant intervals are supported.  Complex
%	signals are modified to the modulus of the elements.  If unspecified, the signal
%	vector is entered after the prompt from the keyboard.

%	Implemented using MATLAB 6.0.0
%
%	Examples:
%
%	 [p,n]=peakdetect([-1 -1 0 1 0 1 0 -1 -1])
%
%	p =
%
%	     4     6
%
%	n =
%
%	     1     5     8
%
%	 [p,n]=peakdetect(cos(2*pi*(0:999999)/500000))
%
%	p =
%
%	           1      500001     1000000
%
%	n =
