%
% Use the print(text) method to update the text printed in the command window.
% Prefix, text, and suffix are concatenated and used in a fprintf() call
% so format them to be fprintf() compliant.
%
% Example:
%
% maxIteration = 1000;
% prefix = 'Elapsed time: ';
% suffix = ' milliseconds.';
% elapsedTime = UpdatableText(prefix,suffix);
% for i = 1:maxIteration
% elapsedTime.print(num2str(i));
% pause(0.001);
% end
%
% A percentage value and/or a progress bar can be added with a provided
% fraction number.
%
% Example:
%
% maxIteration = 1000;
% prefix = 'Elapsed milliseconds: ';
% elapsedTime = UpdatableText(prefix);
% for i = 1:maxIteration
% elapsedTime.print(num2str(i));
% elapsedTime.printPercent(i/maxIteration);
% elapsedTime.printProgressBar(i/maxIteration);
% pause(0.001);
% end
%
% Text can be printed above the updated text.
%
% Example:
%
% maxIteration = 1000;
% prefix = 'Elapsed milliseconds: ';
% elapsedTime = UpdatableText(prefix);
% for i = 1:maxIteration
% elapsedTime.print(num2str(i));
% elapsedTime.printPercent(i/maxIteration);
% elapsedTime.printProgressBar(i/maxIteration);
% if not(mod(i,100))
% elapsedTime.printAbove(sprintf('%d milliseconds elapsed',i));
% end
% pause(0.001);
% end
%
% Beware not to print anything else in the command window while
% an UpdatabaleText is being used since updating an UpdatableText
% deletes characters among the last printed characters.
