function theOutputInfo = fig2jpeg(theFilename, theFigure, theQuality)

% fig2jpeg -- Save a visible figure in JPEG format.
%  fig2jpeg('theFilename', theFigure, theQuality) saves theFigure
%   (must exist and be visible; default = gcf) to 'theFilename'
%   (default = 'unnamed.jpg'), with theQuality (default = 100).
%   If no filename is given, the Matlab "uiputfile" dialog is
%   invoked.  If an output argument is provided, the "imfinfo"
%   string is returned.
