function flag=vis_valuetype(value, valid, str);

% VIS_VALUETYPE Used for type checks in SOM Toolbox visualization routines
%
%  flag = vis_valuetype(value, valid, str)
%
%  Input and output arguments:
%   value  (varies) variable to be checked
%   valid  (cell array) size 1xN, cells are strings or vectors (see below)
%   str    (string) 'all' or 'any' (default), determines whether
%                   all or just any of the types listed in argument 'valid' 
%                   should be true for 'value'
%
%   flag   (scalar) 1 or 0 (true or false) 
%
% This is an internal function of SOM Toolbox visualization.  It makes
% various type checks. For example:
%
%  % Return 1 if X is a numeric scalar otherwise 0:
%  f=vis_valuetype(X,{'1x1'});
%
%  % Return 1 if X is a ColorSpec, that is, a 1x3 vector presenting an RGB
%  % value or any of strings 'red','blue','green','yellow','magenta','cyan',
%  % 'white' or 'black' or their shortenings  'r','g','b','y','m','c','w','k': 
%  f=vis_valueype(X,{'1x3rgb','colorstyle'})
%
%  % Return 1 if X is _both_ 10x3 size numeric matrix and has RGB values as rows
%  f=vis_valuetype(X,{'nx3rgb',[10 3]},'all')
%
% Strings that may be used in argument valid: 
%  id             is true if value is 
% 
%  [n1 n2 ... nn] any n1 x n2 x ... x nn sized numeric matrix
%  '1x1'          scalar (numeric)
%  '1x2'          1x2 vector (numeric)
%  'nx1'          any nx1 numeric vector
%  'nx2'              nx2
%  'nx3'              nx3
%  'nxn'          any numeric square matrix
%  'nxn[0,1]'     numeric square matrix with values in interval [0,1]
%  'nxm'          any numeric matrix
%  '1xn'          any 1xn numeric vector
%  '1x3rgb'       1x3 vector v for which all(v>=0 & v<=1), e.g., a RGB code
%  'nx3rgb'       nx3 numeric matrix that contains n RGB values as rows
%  'nx3dimrgb'    nx3xdim numeric matrix that contains RGB values
%  'nxnx3rgb'     nxnx3 numeric matrix of nxn RGB triples
%  'none'         string 'none'
%  'xor'          string 'xor'
%  'indexed'      string 'indexed'
%  'colorstyle'   strings 'red','blue','green','yellow','magenta','cyan','white' 
%                 or 'black', or 'r','g','b','y','m','c','w','k'                 
%  'markerstyle'  any of Matlab's marker chars '.','o','x','+','*','s','d','v',
%                 '^','<','>','p'or 'h'
%  'linestyle'    any or Matlab's line style strings '-',':','--', or '-.'
%  'cellcolumn'   a nx1 cell array
%  'topol_cell'   {lattice, msize, shape} 
%  'topol_cell_no_shape' {lattice, msize}
%  'string'       any string (1xn array of char)
