% [fname,pstring]=FIGDISP(...)
%
% Suggests print command for figures.
% Assumes environment variable 'EPS' is set.
% Use PAINTERS to override, sometimes.
%
% INPUT:
%
% name          Filename, preferably without graphics extension or any
%               dots in the filename, really [default: calling function]
% ext           An optional additional extension (number or string)
% opt           An option string, e.g. '-zbuffer'
% act           1 Actually print the figure
%               0 Don't print the figure [default]
%               2 Makes a PDF from an EPS which it removes
% form          A graphics format [pdf, png, etc: default: epsc]
% convo         A graphics converter string [default: 'ps2raster -Tf']
%               such as 'epstopdf' or 'ps2raster' or ...
%
% OUTPUT:
%
% fname         The full file name, but definitely no graphics extension
% pstring       The plot string
%
% Tested on 8.3.0.532 (R2014a) and 9.0.0.341360 (R2016a)
