%
% gui_active - used to implement an abort function in a GUI
%
% Initiate with: gui_active(1)
%
% then: in the aplication, at various places,
%
%  EITHER  1) if (~gui_active) then ... do abort action
%  OR      2) polling gui_active(-1) will cause an error with the value 'abort_requested'
%             that can be caught with a "try-catch" block
%
% to initiate the abort (for both cases) call:  gui_active(0)
%
% the call to drawnow enable other controls to "patch-in" before the
% rest of this code executes and possibly change the "is_active" state
