## Finds limits to contrast stretch an image
##
## @code{LOW_HIGH=stretchlim(I,TOL)} returns a vector @var{LOW_HIGH}
## which contains a pair of intensities which can be used in
## @code{imadjust} to stretch the contrast of an image, first of them
## will be lower value (@code{imadjust} would assign 0 to it) and second
## is the upper bound. @var{TOL} specifies the fraction of the image to
## saturate at lower and upper limits. It can be a vector of length 2:
## @code{[LOW_FRACT, HIGH_FRACT]}, or it can be a scalar, in that case
## @code{[LOW_FRACT, HIGH_FRACT]=[TOL, 1-TOL]}.
##
## @var{TOL} can't be larger than 0.50 and for TOL=0 then
## @code{LOW_HIGH=[min(I(:)), max(I(:))]}.
##
## @code{LOW_HIGH=stretchlim(I)} behaves as described but defaults
## @var{TOL} to @code{[0.01, 0.99]}.
##
## @code{LOW_HIGH=stretchlim(RGB,TOL)} returns a 2-by-3 matrix in
## @var{LOW_HIGH} of lower and upper values to saturate for each plane
## of the RGB image in M-by-N-by-3 array @var{RGB}. @var{TOL} is a
## vector or a scalar, as described above, and the same fractions are
## applied for each plane.
##
## @code{LOW_HIGH=stretchlim(RGB)} uses @code{[0.01, 0.99]} as default
## value for @var{TOL}.
##
## @strong{Notes:}
##
## Values in @var{LOW_HIGH} are of type double and comprised between 0
## and 1 regardless class of input image.
##
## @strong{Compatibility notes:}
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## int* and uint* types are still not implemented (waiting for support
## in Octave 2.1.58).
## @item
## This function tries to find limits that are nearer to saturate
## requested interval. So, for instance, if you requested a 5% and it
## has to choose between discarding a 1% and a 7%, it will choose the
## later despite being more than requested. This should be test against
## MATLAB behaviour.
