function [varargout] = reggrid(sz,num,mode)
%REGGRID Regular sampling grid.
%  [I1,I2,...,Ip] = REGGRID([N1 N2 ... Np], NUM) returns the indices
%  of a regular uniform sampling grid over a p-dimensional matrix with
%  dimensions N1xN2x...xNp. NUM is the minimal number of required samples,
%  and it is ensured that the actual number of samples, given by
%  length(I1)xlength(I2)x...xlength(Ip), is at least as large as NUM.
%
%  [I1,I2,...,Ip] = REGGRID([N1 N2 ... Np], NUM,'MODE') specifies the
%  method for distributing the samples along each dimension. Valid modes
%  include 'eqdist' (the default mode) and 'eqnum'. 'eqdist' indicates an
%  equal distance between the samples in each dimension, while 'eqnum'
%  indicates an equal number of samples in each dimension.
%
%  Notes about MODE:
%
%    1. The 'eqnum' mode will generally fail when the p-th root of NUM
%    (i.e. NUM^(1/p)) is larger than min([N1 N2 ... Np]). Thus 'eqdist' is
%    the more useful choice for sampling an arbitrary number of samples
%    from the matrix (up to the total number of matrix entries).
%  
%    2. In both modes, the equality (of the distance between samples, or
%    the number of samples in each dimension) is only approximate. This is
%    because REGGRID attempts to maintain the appropriate equality while at
%    the same time find a sampling pattern where the total number of
%    samples is as close as possible to NUM. In general, the larger {Ni}
%    and NUM are, the tighter the equality.
%
%  Example: Sample a set of blocks uniformly from a 2D image.
%
%    n = 512; blocknum = 20000; blocksize = [8 8];
%    im = rand(n,n);
%    [i1,i2] = reggrid(size(im)-blocksize+1, blocknum);
%    blocks = sampgrid(im, blocksize, i1, i2);
