vis_valuetype

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

  '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
