function measure(varargin)

% measure(<sigfig>)
%
% Interactive GUI for measuring points on a plot.
%
% sigfig is number of significant figures you would like to display. Default
% is four.
%
% Procedure:
%
% 1) Plot whatever it is you want to do measurements on.
%
% 2) Make sure it is the current figure (use the 'figure(x)' command, where 
%    'x' is the number of the figure).
%
% 3) Type 'measure'.
%
% 4) Move the mouse pointer around until the desired first measurement
%    point is highlighted.
%
% 5) Click the left-hand mouse button to select the first point.
%
% 6) Move the pointer around to select the second measurement point.
%
% 7) Click again to select the second point.
%
% 8) Selected points are labeled on the plot and printed in the MATLAB
%    command window, along with differences between the points and the slope
%    between them.
%
% 9) MATLAB's plot editing features can be used to move the labels around,
%    delete them, modify them, etc. (In the plot window, select 
%    Tools-> Enable Plot Editing.)
%
% NOTE: At any time during the measurement, you can press ESC to abort the
% measurement.
