%VECPLOT routine to plot vectors.  
% VECPLOT draws vectors on the current figure, at (x,y)
% locations determined in one of two ways.  If the first
% argument to VECPLOT is a fem_grid_struct, then VECPLOT
% extracts the FEM domain coordinates as the vector origins.
% Otherwise, the user supplies the (x,y) coordinates
% explicitly.  This flexibility exists because vector
% plotting does not require any knowledge of nodal 
% connectivity, and perhaps the (u,v) data are not
% from a FEM model output.
%
% VECPLOT scales the magnitude of 
% (u,v) by the magnitude of max(abs(u,v)) and then 
% forces a vector of magnitude sc to be 10% of the x data
% range.  By default, sc = 1., so that a 1 m/s vector will
% be scaled to 10% of the x data range.  If sc=.5, then
% a vector magnitude of 50 cm/s  will be scaled to 10% of the 
% x data range.  Decreasing sc serves to make the vectors
% appear larger.  VECPLOT then prompts the user to place
% the vector scale on the figure, unless scale_xor,scale_yor
% is specified (see below).
%      
%   INPUT:   x,y    - vector origins
%            u,v    - vector amplitudes
%            These inputs are optional, but if one is needed, all
%            preceeding it wil be required.
%            sc     - vector scaler; (optional; default = 1.)
%            sclab  - label for vector scale; (optional; default = 'cm/s')
%            scale_xor,scale_yor  -  location to place vector scale
%
%  OUTPUT:   h - vector of handles to the vector lines drawn, the 
%                scale vector, and the scale vector text.
%
%   NOTES:   VECPLOT requires atleast 2 coordinates and vectors.
