ECG-Kit 1.0

%% (Internal) Convert matrix of ECG wave annotations to a struct position format, used in wavedet algorithm
%   
%   [pos_matrix, fields ] = positions2matrix(this_position, fields)
% 
% Arguments:
% 
%      + this_position: struct with fields vectors of annotations 
% 
%      + fields: field names in pos_matrix
%             
% Output:
% 
%      + pos_matrix: with the fields defined in fields variable
% 
%      + fields: field names in pos_matrix
% 
% Example:
