stsumplot(jptimes, fval, stimes, sval)

function [] = stsumplot(jptimes, fval, stimes, sval)

% STSUMPLOT Plot piecewise constant functions and their sum. The
%   functions are stored in two matrices containing the jumps points
%   and function values respectively. If they have different number of
%   jumps, each vector is padded with the last value to have the same
%   length.

% Inputs:
%        jptimes - a matrix of the jump times stored columnwise
%        fval - a matrix of the function values at the jump points
%          stored columnwise 
%        stimes - a column vector of the jump times of the sum
%        sval - a column vector of the function values at the jump
%          points of the sum
