GTRACK Track mouse position and show coordinates in figure title.

Once GTRACK is active the mouse position is constantly tracked and printed on the current figure title. A left-click will print the coordinates in the command line and store them. Clicking the mouse right button deactivates GTRACK.

USAGE
gtrack() tracks the mouse and prints coordinates in the command line.

clickData = gtrack() will return the click positions in clickData using UIWAIT. Matlab will be in wait mode until the user finishes clicking.

gtrack('newVar') tracks the mouse and creates a new variable in the base workspace called 'newVar' with the click coordinates. This mode does not use UIWAIT.

gtrack([],titleFormat) uses titleFormat as the format string for printing the mouse coordinates in the title.
