## Open a GUI dialog for selecting a file.  It returns the filename @var{fname},
## the path to this file @var{fpath}, and the filter index @var{fltidx}.
## @var{flt} contains a (list of) file filter string(s) in one of the following
## formats:
##
## @table @asis
## @item "/path/to/filename.ext"
## If a filename is given then the file extension is extracted and used as
## filter.  In addition, the path is selected as current path and the filename
## is selected as default file.  Example: @code{uigetfile ("myfun.m")}
##
## @item A single file extension "*.ext"
## Example: @code{uigetfile ("*.ext")}
##
## @item A 2-column cell array
## containing a file extension in the first column and a brief description
## in the second column.
## Example: @code{uigetfile (@{"*.ext", "My Description";"*.xyz",
## "XYZ-Format"@})}
##
## The filter string can also contain a semicolon separated list of filter
## extensions.
## Example: @code{uigetfile (@{"*.gif;*.png;*.jpg", "Supported Picture
## Formats"@})}
## @end table
##
## @var{dialog_name} can be used to customize the dialog title.
## If @var{default_file} is given then it will be selected in the GUI dialog.
## If, in addition, a path is given it is also used as current path.
##
## The screen position of the GUI dialog can be set using the "Position" key
## and a 2-element vector containing the pixel coordinates.
## Two or more files can be selected when setting the "MultiSelect" key to "on".
## In that case @var{fname} is a cell array containing the files.
