function dist=maskdist(vol)
%
% dist=maskdist(vol)
%
% return the distance in each voxel towards the nearest label boundaries
%
% author: Qianqian Fang (q.fang at neu.edu)
%
% input:
%	 vol: a 2D or 3D array
%
% output:
%	 dist: an integer array, storing the distance, in voxel unit, towards
%	       the nearest boundary between two distinct non-zero voxels, the
%	       zero voxels in the domain and space outside of the array 
%          are also treated as a unique non-zero label. If the goal is to 
%	       get the minimum distance measured from the center of the voxel,
%	       one should use (dist-0.5).
%
% example:
%
%    a=ones(60,60,60);
%    a(:,:,1:10)=2;
%    a(:,:,11:20)=3;
%    im=maskdist(a);
%    imagesc(squeeze(im(:,30,:)))
