## @deftypefn  {} {[@var{reg}, @var{prop}] =} parseparams (@var{params})
## @deftypefnx {} {[@var{reg}, @var{var1}, @dots{}] =} parseparams (@var{params}, @var{name1}, @var{default1}, @dots{})
## Return in @var{reg} the cell elements of @var{param} up to the first
## string element and in @var{prop} all remaining elements beginning with the
## first string element.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## [reg, prop] = parseparams (@{1, 2, "linewidth", 10@})
## reg =
## @{
##   [1,1] = 1
##   [1,2] = 2
## @}
## prop =
## @{
##   [1,1] = linewidth
##   [1,2] = 10
## @}
## @end group
## @end example
##
## The parseparams function may be used to separate regular numeric arguments
## from additional arguments given as property/value pairs of the
## @var{varargin} cell array.
##
## In the second form of the call, available options are specified directly
## with their default values given as name-value pairs.  If @var{params} do
## not form name-value pairs, or if an option occurs that does not match any
## of the available options, an error occurs.
##
## When called from an m-file function, the error is prefixed with the name
## of the caller function.
##
## The matching of options is case-insensitive.
