title: Progress indication in parfor
body: <p>I used to track progress in a parfor loop by first generate a line of dots and the  adding "|" every once a while on to a new line (Source: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23515240/matlab-print-progress-from-parfor-loop">Matlab: Print progress from parfor loop</a>). Is there a way to get a percentage of the progress during a parfor loop without an additional pop up progress bar (as in the source as well)?</p>
  
  <pre><code>        fprintf(['\n ' repmat('.',1,100) '\n']);
          parfor jj = 1:n
              if mod(jj,n/100)==0
                  fprintf('\b|\n');
              end
              output= somefunction(input);
           end
  </code></pre>
