17 Jun 2009	subarray Extracts a subarray from an array. Useful for function outputs. Author: Peter Mao	Fig, Matt	You could also do this: a = foo(x,y,z); a = a(2,9:end); Then there is no temporary variable polluting your workspace.
05 Jan 2009	textbp: text with legend-style "best" placement automatically locates text annotation to minimize figure obscuration Author: Peter Mao	Foster, Scott	This is a great bit of code for what it does. Very easy to use, and exactly what I was looking for.
30 Nov 2007	Compact data uncertainty format given data and uncertainty, this program reformats the number into parenthetic notation. Author: Peter Mao	mao, peter	After seeing Rolf's comment, I thought about adding in special handling for sigma==0, but then decided against it. Consider if the uncertainty was infinitesimally small. Then one would have an enormous number of significant digits. With ZERO uncertainty, then one must report an infinite number of significant digits! I suggest that Rolf put an if-then around this code to get the result he desires. I don't think it is appropriate to handle that within this code. Thanks for your comment. Peter
15 Nov 2007	Compact data uncertainty format given data and uncertainty, this program reformats the number into parenthetic notation. Author: Peter Mao	Heidemann, Rolf	Very useful. The input uncertainty of 0 should be treated, e.g as omitting the parentheses.
17 Oct 2006	textbp: text with legend-style "best" placement automatically locates text annotation to minimize figure obscuration Author: Peter Mao	Solimeno, Bob	Beautiful! This code does exactly what I want to achieve. A very nice, simple substiture for the MATLAB text command where hands-off annotation is desired!
