% IM = mkGaussian(SIZE, COVARIANCE, MEAN, AMPLITUDE)
% 
% Compute a matrix with dimensions SIZE (a [Y X] 2-vector, or a
% scalar) containing a Gaussian function, centered at pixel position
% specified by MEAN (default = (size+1)/2), with given COVARIANCE (can
% be a scalar, 2-vector, or 2x2 matrix.  Default = (min(size)/6)^2),
% and AMPLITUDE.  AMPLITUDE='norm' (default) will produce a
% probability-normalized function.  All but the first argument are
% optional.
