%%quadratSelection_AllImages(extension, quadratSize):
%%place quadratSelection_AllImages.m in the
%%current directory containing images, and run this program. It allows the
%%user to interactively select and save one quadrat per image. The saved
%%quadrats are stored in a generated subfolder called 'savedQuadrats'. See
%%quadratSelection_OneImage.m for the interactive quadrat selection of one
%%image. This program is simply a top-level that loops through the images
%%to call the individual selection function.
%%quadratSelection_OneImage and quadratSelection_AllImages
%%should both be in the same folder. The two arguments are defaulted, read
%%the code.
