% VECPLOTSTICK vecplotstick(x,y,u,v,sc,color,dotsize)
%
%            routine to plot vectors.  STICKPLOT scales the magnitude of 
%            (u,v) by the magnitude of max(abs(u,v)) and then 
%            to Q percent of the range of the domain (xin,yin) coordinates.  
%            Initially, Q is 10.  The input argument sc scales Q.  
%            If sc=1, Q=10.  If sc=2, Q=20. If sc=.5, Q=5. 
%
%            STICKPLOT overlays on existing axes, regardless of the state 
%            of 'hold'.  If there is no current axes, STICKPLOT draws a
%            new axes. 
%          
%            x,y     - vector origins
%            u,v     - vector amplitudes
%            sc      - vector scale; use '1' first time.
%            color   - stick color; (optional, def = 'r')
%            dotsize - vector origin "dot" size (optional, def = 10)
%
%            dotsizes are given in points where a point is 1/72 inches
%            The MATLAB default MarkerSize of 6 is approx. the size of a . 
%            (period).
%
%            Example call:  stickplot(x,y,u,v,2,'r',10)
%            This will draw vectors at (x,y) with appropriately scaled
%            magnitudes (u,v), with the maximum vector size being 20 
%            percent of the domain exent, with red lines used
%            to draw the vectors, and with vector origin dots being
%            10 points wide.  
%
%            NOTES:
%            STICKPLOT requires atleast 2 points and vectors.
%            STICKPLOT does NOT force the axis aspect ratio to be 1:1.
