drawBox(box, varargin)

function varargout = drawBox(box, varargin)
%DRAWBOX Draw a box defined by coordinate extents
%   
%   drawBox(BOX)
%   Draws a box defined by its extent: BOX = [XMIN XMAX YMIN YMAX].
%
%   drawBox(..., NAME, VALUE)
%   Specifies drawing parameters using parameter name and value. See plot
%   function for syntax.
%
%   drawBox(AX, ...)
%   Specifies the handle of the axis to draw on.
%
%   Example
%     % define some points, compute their box, display everything
%     points = [10 30; 20 50; 20 20; 30 10;40 30;50 20];
%     box = pointSetBounds(points);
%     figure; hold on;
%     drawPoint(points, 's');
%     drawBox(box);
%     axis([0 60 0 60]);

%   HISTORY
%   2010-02-22 creation
%   2011-04-01 add support for drawing option, fix bug for several boxes
%   2011-10-11 add management of axes handle

% extract handle of axis to draw on

    ax = box;
    box = varargin{1};
    varargin(1) = [];

    ax = gca;

% default values

% iterate on boxes
for i = 1:nBoxes
    % exract min and max values
    tx(1) = xmin(i);
    ty(1) = ymin(i);

    % display polygon
