# menu

## Purpose

Generate a menu of choices for user input.

## Synopsis

    k = menu('mtitle','opt1','opt2',...,'optn')

## Description

`menu('mtitle','opt1','opt2',...,'optn')` displays the menu whose title is in the string variable `'mtitle'` and whose choices are string variables `'opt1'`, `'opt2'`, and so on. `menu` returns the value you entered.

## Examples

`k = menu('Choose a color','Red','Green','Blue')` displays

    ---- Choose a color ----

        1) Red
        2) Green
        3) Blue

    Select a menu number:

After you input a number, use `k` to control the color of a graph.

    color = ['r','g','b']
    plot(t,s,color(k))

Computers that employ a window system use a bitmapped menu.
