function a_p = plotPeaksCompare(a_md, title_str, props)

% plotPeaksCompare - Plot I/V curves comparing model and data.
%
% Usage:
% a_p = plotPeaksCompare(a_md, title_str, props)
%
% Parameters:
%   a_md: A model_data_vcs object.
%   title_str: (Optional) Text to appear in the plot title.
%   props: A structure with any optional properties.
%     quiet: If 1, only use given title_str.
%     skipStep: Number of voltage steps to skip at the start (default=0).
%		
% Returns:
%   a_p: A plot_abstract object.
%
% Description:
%
% Example:
% >> a_md = model_data_vcs(model, data_vc)
% >> plotFigure(plotPeaksCompare(a_md, 'I/V curves'))
