## @deftypefn {} {@var{idx} =} subsindex (@var{obj})
## Convert an object to an index vector.
##
## When @var{obj} is a class object defined with a class constructor, then
## @code{subsindex} is the overloading method that allows the conversion of
## this class object to a valid indexing vector. It is important to note that
## @code{subsindex} must return a zero-based real integer vector of the class
## @qcode{"double"}. For example, if the class constructor were
##
## @example
## @group
## function obj = myclass (a)
## obj = class (struct ("a", a), "myclass");
## endfunction
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## then the @code{subsindex} function
##
## @example
## @group
## function idx = subsindex (obj)
## idx = double (obj.a) - 1.0;
## endfunction
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## could be used as follows
##
## @example
## @group
## a = myclass (1:4);
## b = 1:10;
## b(a)
## @result{} 1 2 3 4
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @seealso{class, subsref, subsasgn}
## @end deftypefn
function idx = subsindex (obj)
if (nargin < 1)
print_usage ();
endif
## Only way to get here is if subsindex has not been overloaded by a class.
