%
% NUMSCAL label scalar (Q) values at x,y locations on current axes.
%
% Input:  x  - x-coordinate array
%         y  - y-coordinate array
%         Q  - scalar (1-D vector)
%         ps - point size for screen text numbers (optional, def=8)
%
%         NOTES: 1) NUMSCAL overlays existing plots regardless of
%                   the state of hold
%                2) NUMSCAL determines if the current density of nodes
%                   is too high to make the node numbers readable.
%                   If node density is too high, NUMSCAL displays 
%                   a warning box asking the user if NUMSCAL
%                   should plot the numbers anyway.
