## Open a GUI dialog to select a file. It returns the filename @var{fname},
## the path to this file @var{fpath} and the filter index @var{fltidx}.
## @var{flt} contains a (list of) file filter string(s) in one of the following
## formats:
##
## @table @code
## @item "/path/to/filename.ext"
## If a filename is given the file extension is extracted and used as filter.
## In addtion the path is selected as current path and the filname is selected
## as default file.
## Example: uigetfile("myfun.m");
##
## @item A single file extension "*.ext". 
## Example: uigetfile("*.ext");
##
## @item A 2-column cell array,
## containing the file extension in the 1st column and a brief description
## in the 2nd column.
## Example: uigetfile(@{"*.ext","My Description";"*.xyz","XYZ-Format"@});
## 
## The filter string can also contain a semicolon separated list of filter
## extensions.
## Example: uigetfile(@{"*.gif;*.png;*.jpg", "Supported Picture Formats"@});
## @end table
##
## @var{dialog_name} can be used to customize the dialog title.
## If @var{default_file} is given it is selected in the GUI dialog. 
## If in addtion a path is given it is also used as current path.
## 
## The screen position of the GUI dialog can be set by using the "Position" key
## and a 2-valued vector containing the pixel coordinates.
## Two or more files can be selected when setting the "Multiselect" key to "on".
## In that case @var{fname} is a cell array containing the files. 
## @end deftypefn
