function int = quad2dggen(fun,xlow,xhigh,ylow,yhigh,tol)

%This function is similar to QUAD or QUAD8 for 2-dimensional integration
%over a general 2-dimensional region, but it uses a Gaussian quadrature 
%integration scheme.  
%The integral is like:
%              yhigh   funxhigh(y)
%      int = Int     Int       Fun(x,y)  dx  dy
%              ylow    funxlow(y)
%
% 	int     -- value of the integral
%       Fun     -- Fun(x,y) (function to be integrated)
%       funxlow -- funxlow(y)
%       funxhigh-- funxhigh(y)
%       ylow    -- lower y limit of integration
%       yhigh   -- upper y limit of integration
%       tol     -- tolerance parameter (optional)
%Note that if there are discontinuities the region of integration 
%should be broken up into separate pieces.  And if there are singularities,
%a more appropriate integration quadrature should be used 
%(such as the Gauss-Chebyshev for a specific type of singularity).

%This routine could be optimized.
