Matlab MODE-like function for evaluating multimodal sets of data?

I read up what I could find on matlab MODE() function and I don't see any formatting options to make it return multiple modes.

If we have a data set A = [1,2,3,3,5,2,7,7]

[2,3,7] all occur 2 times making it a multimodal data set

matlab can only return the smallest mode value, 2.

Is there another function that can handle multiple modes?

Right now I am resorting to the tabulate() function and some manipulation to get the values I want out but I am really hoping there is a simpler way :(

thanks

One fairly simple way to do it:

A = [1,2,3,3,5,2,7,7];

U = unique(A);
H=histc(A,U);
U(H==max(H))

that's brilliant! thanks
