samer@44: % box - wrap value in cell 
samer@44: % box :: A -> cell {A}.
samer@44: %
samer@44: % NB. this function hides Matlab's box function which
samer@44: % controls the appearance of the current axis. HOWEVER,
samer@44: % if this function is called with no return value, then
samer@44: % box('on') and box('off') control the axis box as before.
samer@44: % None of the other box arguments patterns work. [sorry]
samer@44: function y=box(x), 
samer@44: 	if nargout==1, y={x}; else set(gca,'Box',x); end
