% SLAMFILTER - Describes a SLAM filter structure.
%
% A SLAM filter structure has the following fields:
% 
%   label: a string giving a short description of the filter
%   bs:    the belief state of the filter represented as a Java
%          object 
%   ffun:  a handle to a function that performs a filtering
%          operation to update the belief state; for a detailed
%          description of its parameters, see LGSLAM or FASTSLAM,
%          which are examples.
%   dafun: a handle to a function that performs data association;
%          for a detailed description of its parameters, see LGSLAM_DA,
%          which is an example.
%   pfun:  a handle to a function that plots the belief state; for
%          a detailed description of its parameters, see
%          KALMAN_SLAM_PLOT, TJT_SLAM_PLOT or FASTSLAM_PLOT, which
%          are examples.
%   mfun:  a handle to a function that computes the estimated
%          map; for a detailed description of its parameters, see 
%          LGSLAM_MAP or FASTSLAM_MAP, which are examples.
%
% The following are examples of functions that generate SLAM filter
% objects: 
%
%   KALMAN_SLAM_FILTER
%   INFORMATION_SLAM_FILTER
%   JT_SLAM_FILTER
%   TJT_SLAM_FILTER
%   FASTSLAM_FILTER
