PROGRESSDOTS use a fprintf(2,<text>) command to display dots on the MATLAB Command Window to show a progress status of a working function. These could be helpful to give the user the impresion that the program or function does still work and is in progress.

PROGRESSDOTS() does use 5 dots every 1 second.

PROGRESSDOTS(10) does use entered amount of dots, here 10 and these are displayed every 1 second.

PROGRESSDOTS(20,4) does display 20 dots every 4 seconds.

SYNTAX: >> progressdots() % 5 dots every second
>> progressdots 6 % 6 dots every second
>> progressdots('20','3') % 20 dots every 3 seconds
