%GENDATI Create dataset from randomly selected windows in a given image
%
%               A = GENDATI(IMAGE,WSIZE,N,LABEL)
%
% INPUT
%   IMAGE  - Image of any dimensionality
%   WSIZE  - Vector with size of the window
%   N      - Number windows to be generated
%   LABEL  - Optional string or number with label for all objects
%
% OUTPUT
%   A      - Dataset of N objects and prod(WSIZE) features
%
% DESCRIPTION
%       Windows of the specified size are arbitrarily positioned in the
% image, converted to a row vector and stored in the dataset A.
%
% If specified, all objects have label LABEL. Otherwise they are
% unlabeled.
