function ext = cfg_maxextent(obj, str)
% CFG_MAXEXTENT Returns the maximum extent of cellstr STR 
% Returns the maximum extent of obj OBJ when the cellstr STR will be
% rendered in it. MATLAB is not able to work this out correctly on its own
% for multiline strings. Therefore each line will be tried separately and
% its extent will be returned. To avoid 'flicker' appearance, OBJ should be
% invisible. The extent does not include the width of a scrollbar.

% This code is part of a batch job configuration system for MATLAB. See
