Fwd: How can I get a progress bar

[Carnë Draug]

I forgot to send this to the mailing list when I answered before. The
patch does not show a status bar but displays a message about the
percentage of done. Looking back, you should replace round by floor on
the patch.

Hi,

that function is part of the image package, not of octave core. I
attached a patch that should prints a message every 5%. You can change
that value in the following line (after applying the patch)

   if(rem(percent_done, 5)==0 && percent_done != seen)

By the way, you can look into the function file to modify it to your
needs. You are now free to do so.
