function p=mmbox(f)
%MMBOX Get Position Vector of a Rubberband Box.
% MMBOX returns a position vector [left bottom width height]
% in axes coordinates of a rubberband box drawn by the user
% with the mouse.
% MMBOX('f') or MMBOX f  returns the position vector in
% figure coordinates.
%
% Striking a key on the keyboard aborts the command.
% MMBOX returns an empty matrix if an error occurs or if aborted.
% MMBOX becomes inactive after position is found or aborted.
