% LFDisp - Convenience function to display a 2D slice of a light field
% 
% Usage: 
%     LFSlice = LFDispMousePan( LF )
%               LFDispMousePan( LF )
%     
% 
% The centermost image is taken in s and t. Also works with 3D arrays of images. If an output argument is included, no
% display is generated, but the extracted slice is returned instead.
% 
% Inputs:
% 
%     LF : a colour or single-channel light field, and can a floating point or integer format. For
%          display, it is scaled as in imagesc.  If LF contains more than three colour
%          channels, as is the case when a weight channel is present, only the first three are used.
% 
% 
% Outputs:
% 
%     LFSlice : if an output argument is used, no display is generated, but the extracted slice is returned.
