%PRINT2ARRAY  Exports a figure to an image array
%
% Examples:
%   A = print2array
%   A = print2array(figure_handle)
%   A = print2array(figure_handle, resolution)
%   A = print2array(figure_handle, resolution, renderer)
%   [A bcol] = print2array(...)
%
% This function outputs a bitmap image of the given figure, at the desired
% resolution.
%
% If renderer is '-painters' then ghostcript needs to be installed. This
% can be downloaded from: http://www.ghostscript.com
%
% IN:
%   figure_handle - The handle of the figure to be exported. Default: gcf.
%   resolution - Resolution of the output, as a factor of screen
%                resolution. Default: 1.
%   renderer - string containing the renderer paramater to be passed to
%              print. Default: '-opengl'.
%
% OUT:
%   A - MxNx3 uint8 image of the figure.
%   bcol - 1x3 uint8 vector of the background color

% 5/9/2011 Set EraseModes to normal when using opengl or zbuffer renderers.
% Thanks to Pawel Kocieniewski for reporting the issue.

% 21/9/2011 Bug fix: unit8 -> uint8!
% Thanks to Tobias Lamour for reporting the issue.

% 14/11/2011 Bug fix: stop using hardcopy(), as it interfered with figure
% size and erasemode settings. Makes it a bit slower, but more reliable.
% Thanks to Phil Trinh and Meelis Lootus for reporting the issues.
