Matplot1 - 2D plot of a matrix using colors

### Calling Sequence

  `Matplot1(a,rect)`

### Parameters

- `a`: real matrix of size (n1,n2).
- `rect`: `[xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax]`

### Description

The entries of matrix `int(a)` are used as colormap entries in the current colormap. `rect` specify a rectangle in the current scale and the matrix is drawn inside this rectangle. Each matrix entry will be rendered as a small rectangle filled with its associated color.

### Examples

    //--- first example
    set figure_style new;
    clf();
    ax=gca();//get current axes handle
    ax.data_bounds=[0,0;10,10];//set the data_bounds
    ax.box='on'; //draw a box
    a=5*ones(11,11); a(2:10,2:10)=4; a(5:7,5:7)=2;
    // first matrix in rectangle [1,1,3,3]
    Matplot1(a,[1,1,3,3])
    a=ones(10,10); a= 3*tril(a)+ 2*a;
    // second matrix in rectangle [5,6,7,8]
    Matplot1(a,[5,6,7,8])

    //--- second example  (animation)
    n=100;

    set figure_style new;
    clf();
    f=gcf();//get current figure handle
    f.pixmap='on';//double buffer mode
    ax=gca();//get current axes handle
    ax.data_bounds=[0,0;10,10];//set the data_bounds
    ax.box='on'; //draw a box
    show_pixmap()
    for k=-n:n,
      a=ones(n,n);
      a= 3*tril(a,k)+ 2*a;
      a= a + a';
      k1= 3*(k+100)/200;
      if k>-n then delete(gce()),end
      Matplot1(a,[k1,2,k1+7,9])
      show_pixmap() //send double buffer to screen
    end
