## @deftypefn {Function file} {@var{P} =} inputdlg (@var{PROMPT} [,@var{TITLE} [,@var{ROWSCOLS}, @var{DEFAULTS}]])
##
## Returns the user's inputs from a multi-textfield dialog box in form of a cell array of strings.
## If the dialog is closed by the Cancel button, an empty cell array is returned.
##
## @table @samp
## @item PROMPT
## The first argument @var{PROMPT} is mandatory.
## It is a cell array with strings labeling each textfield. 
## @item TITLE
## The optional string @var{TITLE} can be used as the caption of the dialog. 
## @item ROWSCOLS
## The size of the text fields can be defined by the argument @var{ROWSCOLS}, 
##  which can have three forms:
## - a scalar value which defines the number of rows used for each text field.
## - a vector which defines the individual number of rows used for each text field.
## - a matrix which defines the individual number of rows and columns used for each text field.
## @item DEFAULTS
## It is possible to place default values into the text fields by supplying
## the a cell array of strings or number for the argument @var{DEFAULTS}.
## @end table
