Takes a 2D array and writes a formatted LaTeX table. Meant to take the tedium out of exporting your results to your published work.

It allows you to enter column headings, which may span multiple columns and/or rows.

It also allows you to select how the columns are split by dividers and the number formats used to write the body of the table using printf style format strings (like '%3.2e').

It also allows you to enter in a caption for your table and a LaTeX label to refer to the table using the '\ref{...}' command.

If you make headings that span multiple columns and/or rows you will need the LaTeX package "multirow". This function also requires my function "writelatextable.m" (file id #32908).

Note: it is possible to select multirow and multicolumn heading options that will produce undefined results. For instance, I don't know what would happen if you make heading shaped like a capital "L".

I wish I made this before I wrote my thesis...
