function o = ddecget(options,name,default)
%DDECGET Get DDEC OPTIONS parameters.
%   VAL = DDECGET(OPTIONS,'NAME') extracts the value of the named property
%   from integrator options structure OPTIONS, returning an empty matrix if
%   the property value is not specified in OPTIONS.  It is sufficient to
%   type only the leading characters that uniquely identify the
%   property.  Case is ignored for property names.  [] is a valid OPTIONS
%   argument.
%   
%   VAL = DDECGET(OPTIONS,'NAME',DEFAULT) extracts the named property as
%   above, but returns VAL = DEFAULT if the named property is not specified
%   in OPTIONS.  For example
%   
%     val = ddecget(opts,'AbsTol',1e-4);
%   
%   returns val = 1e-4 if the AbsTol property is not specified in opts.

%   DDECGET is a modification of DDEGET which is a modification of the ODEGET 
%   function written by Mark W. Reichelt and Lawrence F. Shampine.  Note,
%   unlike DDEGET and ODEGET, DDECGET does not need to be modified for new
%   options.
