JLAB is a set of Matlab functions I have written or co-written over the past fifteen years for the p

%
% JGRAPH  Fine-turning and customizing figures
%
%   jgraph_quirks - Solutions to some common Matlab graphics quirks.
%
% Specialized plotting functions
%   jimage     - Image plot with scaled cdatamapping and normal ydir.
%   jcontour   - Contouring with labelled and unlabelled contours.
%   uvplot     - Plot u and v components of velocity on the same axis.
%   stickvect  - Plots "stick vectors" for multicomponent velocity time series.
%   provec     - Generate progressive vector diagrams (simple and fancy).
%   hodograph  - Generate hodograph plots (simple and fancy).
%   fastcontour  - Lightning-fast "fake" contouring for large matrices.
%
% Graphical post-processing --- ticks and labels
%   xtick         - Sets locations of x-axis tick marks.
%   ytick         - Sets locations of y-axis tick marks.
%   fixlabels     - Specify precision of axes labels.
%   ticklen       - Sets tick length of current axis. 
%   ytlpad        - Pads the ytick labels with a leading space.
%   hlines        - Add horizontal lines to a plot.
%   vlines        - Add vertical lines to a plot.
%
% Graphical post-processing --- extras
%   discretecolorbar - Plots a colorbar with discrete variation.
%   secondaxis    - Adds a second axis on top of an existing axis.
%   letterlabels  - For automatically putting letter labels on subplots.
%   timelabel     - Put month, day, or hour labels on a time axes.
%   phasecircle   - Plots little circles to indicate a phase angle.
%
% Graphical post-processing --- lines and fonts
%   linering      - Moves lines through the current line style order.  
%   yoffset       - Offsets lines in the y-direction after plotting.
%   xoffset       - Offsets lines in the x-direction after plotting.
%   linestyle     - Sets color, style, and width properties of lines.
%   fontsize      - Rapidly set title, axes, label, and text fontsizes.
%
% Graphical post-processing --- subplots
%   packcols      - Squeeze together all subplot columns of the current figure.
%   packrows      - Squeeze together all subplot rows of the current figure.
%   packboth      - Squeeze together rows and columns of the current figure.
%   letterlabels  - For automatically putting letter labels on subplots.
%
% Low-level functions
%   axeshandles	  - Returns handles to all axes children.
%   linehandes    - Finds all line handles from a given set of axes.
%   patchhandes   - Finds all patch handles from a given set of axes.
%   fontsizesets  - User-specified fontsize sets for use with FONTSIZE  
%
% Simple graphical aliases
%   ylin          - Sets y-axis scale to linear.
%   ylog          - Sets y-axis scale to logarithmic.
%   xlin          - Sets x-axis scale to linear.
%   xlog          - Sets x-axis scale to logarithmic.
%   inticks       - Sets the 'tickdir' property of the current axis to 'in'.
%   outticks      - Sets the 'tickdir' property of the current axis to 'out'.
%   flipx         - Flips the direction of the x-axis.
%   flipy         - Flips the direction of the y-axis.
%   leftaxis      - Sets the 'yaxislocation' property of the current axis to 'left'.
%   rightaxis     - Sets the 'yaxislocation' property of the current axis to 'right'.
%   topaxis       - Sets the 'xaxislocation' property of the current axis to 'top'.
%   bottomaxis    - Sets the 'xaxislocation' property of the current axis to 'bottom'.
%   noxlabels     - Remove x-axis labels.
%   noylabels     - Remove y-axis labels.
%   boxon         - Sets 'box' property to 'on'.
%   boxoff        - Sets 'box' property to 'off'.
%   monthlyticks  - Set x-axis appropriate for months.
%   nocontours    - Removes contours from a CONTOURF plot.
%   axestop       - Sets the 'layer' property of the current axis to 'top'.
%   flipmap       - Flips the current colormap upside-down.
%   land          - Sets orientation to 'landscape'.
%   tall          - Sets orientation to 'tall'.
