title: Text progress bar in Matlab
body: <p>I've got a Matlab function that takes some time to run, and I'd like to show the user that progress is being made. Just <code>disp</code>ing the progress every 5% or so would clutter the screen too much, as the previous text would not be erased.</p>
  
  <p>How can this problem be solved? There's other important information in the command window, so clearing it is out of the question.</p>
