extrema2.m

function [xymax,smax,xymin,smin] = extrema2(xy,varargin)
%EXTREMA2   Gets the extrema points from a surface.
%   [XMAX,IMAX,XMIN,IMIN] = EXTREMA2(X) returns the maxima and minima 
%   elements of the matriz X ignoring NaN's, where
%    XMAX - maxima points in descending order (the bigger first and so on)
%    IMAX - linear indexes of the XMAX
%    XMIN - minima points in descending order
%    IMIN - linear indexes of the XMIN.
%   The program uses EXTREMA.
% 
%   The extrema points are searched only through the column, the row and
%   the diagonals crossing each matrix element, so it is not a perfect
%   mathematical program and for this reason it has an optional argument.
%   The user should be aware of these limitations.
%
%   [XMAX,IMAX,XMIN,IMIN] = EXTREMA2(X,1) does the same but without
%   searching through the diagonals (less strict and perhaps the user gets
%   more output points).
%
%   DEFINITION (from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxima_and_minima):
%   In mathematics, maxima and minima, also known as extrema, are points in
%   the domain of a function at which the function takes a largest value
%   (maximum) or smallest value (minimum), either within a given
%   neighbourhood (local extrema) or on the function domain in its entirety
%   (global extrema). 
%
%   Note: To change the linear index to (i,j) use IND2SUB. 
%
%   Example:
%      [x,y] = meshgrid(-2:.2:2,3:-.2:-2);
%      z = x.*exp(-x.^2-y.^2); z(10,7)= NaN; z(16:19,13:17) = NaN;
%      surf(x,y,z), shading interp
%      [zmax,imax,zmin,imin] = extrema2(z);
%      hold on  
%       plot3(x(imax),y(imax),zmax,'bo',x(imin),y(imin),zmin,'ro')
%       for i = 1:length(zmax)
%        text(x(imax(i)),y(imax(i)),zmax(i),['  ' num2str(zmax(i))])
%       end
%       for i = 1:length(zmin)
%        text(x(imin(i)),y(imin(i)),zmin(i),['  ' num2str(zmin(i))])
%       end
%      hold off
