function DrawingSpeedTest(n,primitivetype,mode,gpumeasure)
% DrawingSpeedTest([n=800][,primitivetype=0][,mode=0][,gpumeasure=0])
%
% Tests batch-drawing performance of some Screen functions. Batch drawing
% is a way to submit multiple primitives, e.g., Filled Rects, at once. This
% way the Matlab call overhead and some internal setup overhead is saved
% and drawing should be significantly faster than when issuing single
% drawing commands in a loop.
%
% This currently only tests filled rects and framed rects as well as filled
% ovals. It also provides a way to test drawing by texture mapping.
% Dots and Lines are nicely demonstrated by DotDemo and LinesDemo.
%
% The optional parameter n allows to specifiy the number of primitives to
% draw each frame, default is 800. The test loop will draw 1000 identical
% frames and measure the time needed.
%
% 'primitivetype' type of primitive: 0 = filled rects, 1 = framed rects, 2
% = filled ovals, 3 = framed ovals.
%
% 'mode' type of drawing: 0 = One by one submission (slowest), 1 = batch
% submission, 2 = texture mapping for drawing, 3 = texture mapping with
% batch submission of textures.
%
% 'gpumeasure' measurement type: 0 = Only on cpu. 1 = Measure exact
% execution time of drawing commands on GPU's that support this feature.
% Plot result at end of run.
%

% History:
% 04/30/07 mk Wrote it.
% 12/21/09 mk Add support for GPU measurement via EXT_timer_query on
%             supported hardware.
