+## Processes image in blocks using user-supplied function.
+##
+## @code{B=blkproc(A,[m,n],fun)} divides image @var{A} in
+## @var{m}-by-@var{n} blocks, and passes them to user-supplied function
+## @var{fun}, which result is concatenated to build returning matrix
+## @var{B}. If padding is needed to build @var{m}-by-@var{n}, it is added
+## at the bottom and right borders of the image. 0 is used as a padding
+## value.
+##
+## @code{B=blkproc(A,[m,n],fun,...)} behaves as described above but
+## passes extra parameters to function @var{fun}.
+##
+## @code{B=blkproc(A,[m,n],[mborder,nborder],fun,...)} behaves as
+## described but uses blocks which overlap with neighbour blocks.
+## Overlapping dimensions are @var{mborder} vertically and @var{nborder}
+## horizontally. This doesn't change the number of blocks in an image
+## (which depends only on size(@var{A}) and [@var{m},@var{n}]). Adding a
+## border requires extra padding on all edges of the image. 0 is used as
+## a padding value.
+##
+## @code{B=blkproc(A,'indexed',...)} assumes that @var{A} is an indexed
+## image, so it pads the image using proper value: 0 for uint8 and
+## uint16 images and 1 for double images. Keep in mind that if 'indexed'
+## is not specified padding is always done using 0.
