function SetStereoBlueLineSyncParameters(win, vPos, hFraction, lineColor)
% Change parameters for drawing of frame-sequential stereo blue line sync lines for shutter glasses (stereo goggles).
%
% SetStereoBlueLineSyncParameters(win [, vPos=max][, hFraction=0.25][, lineColor=[1,1,1]])
%
% Call this function after the win = Screen('OpenWindow',...); call on an
% onscreen window in frame-sequential stereo mode to change the parameters
% of drawing of stereo sync lines, as needed by stereo goggles or shutter
% glasses like, e.g., CrystalEyes glasses. Enable automatic sync lines if
% they aren't enabled already. Sync lines are auto-enabled on OS/X.
%
% All parameters except the onscreen 'win'dowhandle are optional and have
% reasonable builtin defaults:
%
% 'vPos': Vertical position of the sync line: Default to windowheight - 1.
%
% 'hFraction': Sync lines for left eye view are drawn starting on the left
% border with a length of hFraction * windowWidth. Right eye lines are
% drawn with a length of (1-hFraction) * windowWidth.
%
% The default of 0.25 should be ok for at least CrystalEyes goggles
%
% 'lineColor' intensity of the color channels for drawing the line in range
% zero to one: Default is [1,1,1] = max red, green and blue --> A white
% sync line. A setting of [0,0,1] = red off, green off, blue max would
% create a classic blue sync line. However, some CrystalEyes stereoenablers
% had problems detecting the signal this way, so we default to all-white.
