% OPTGET Utility to get previously set function default values
% USAGE
% optvalue=optget(funcname,optname,optvalue);
% INPUTS
% funcname : name of function
% optname : name of option
% optval : option value
% OUTPUT
% optval : the current value of the option
%
% If the named field is not already defined, it will be set to
% optvalue, but optvalue has no effect if the field has already
% been set. Use OPTSET to change a previously set field.
%
% optget(funcname) returns the current values of the options structure.
