New function imattributes to display attributes of figure in console. * imattributes.m: m file for new function. This function is pretty much in a program but may be useful in an interactive session to display on the console properties of the current figure. * COPYING, INDEX, NEWS: add new function to al lists.

## @deftypefn  {Function File} {} imattributes ()
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {} imattributes (@var{himage})
## Get information about image attributes.
##
## Return attributes for the image in the current figure or in the image
## handle @var{himage}.  Returns a struct with the fields:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @qcode{"Width"}
## Number of columns.
##
## @item @qcode{"Height"}
## Number of rows.
##
## @item @qcode{"Class"}
## Note that some classes are converted to double for display.
##
## @item @qcode{"Image type"}
## One of @qcode{"binary"}, @qcode{"truecolor"}, @qcode{"intensity"}, or
## @qcode{"indexed"}.
##
## @item  @qcode{"Minimum intensity"}
## @itemx @qcode{"Maximum intensity"}
## These values are not returned for images of type @qcode{"truecolor"}
## and @qcode{"binary"}.
##
## For indexed images, the returned values are the lowest and highest index
## for the colormap, @emph{not} the used index for the lowest or highest
## intensity or their values.  This weird behaviour is kept for Matlab
## compatibility.
## @end table
##
## This function is meant to be used in an interactive session, and not
## programatically.  The properties of an image should be measured from the
## image variavle itself not from the figure object.  In addition this
## function is purposedly Matlab incompatible on their return value which
## returns a cell array of strings which is only useful for display.

  ## Implementation note: this function returns a struct while Matlab returns
  ## a cell array of strings (even for the numeric values).  It is completely

  ## not display cell arrays columns aligned but a struct looks good.
