<H3>Usage</H3>
Given a structure or structure array, returns the contents of the
specified field. The first version is for scalar structures, and
has the following syntax
<PRE>
y = getfield(x,'fieldname')
</PRE>
<P>
and is equivalent to <code>y = x.fieldname</code> where <code>x</code> is a scalar (1 x 1)
structure. If <code>x</code> is not a scalar structure, then <code>y</code> is the
first value, i.e., it is equivalent to <code>y = x(1).fieldname</code>.
The second form allows you to specify a subindex into a
structure array, and has the following syntax
<PRE>
y = getfield(x, {m,n}, 'fieldname')
</PRE>
<P>
and is equivalent to <code>y = x(m,n).fieldname</code>. You can chain multiple
references together using this syntax.
