; NAME:
;       EQPOLE_GRID
;
; PURPOSE:
;       Produce an equal area polar projection grid overlay
; EXPLANATION:
;       Grid is written on the current graphics device using the equal area 
;       polar projection.   EQPOLE_GRID assumes that the output plot 
;       coordinates span the x and y ranges of -90 to 90 for a region that 
;       covers the equator to the chosen pole. The grid is assumed to go from 
;       the equator to the chosen pole.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
;
;       EQPOLE_GRID[,DLONG,DLAT,[/SOUTHPOLE, LABEL = , /NEW, _EXTRA=]
;
; INPUTS:
;
;       DLONG   = Optional input longitude line spacing in degrees. If left
;                 out, defaults to 30.
;       DLAT    = Optional input lattitude line spacing in degrees. If left
;                 out, defaults to 30.
;
; INPUT KEYWORDS:
;
;       /SOUTHPOLE       = Optional flag indicating that the output plot is
;                         to be centered on the south rather than the north
;                         pole.
;       LABEL           = Optional flag for creating labels on the output
;                         grid on the prime meridian and the equator for
;                         lattitude and longitude lines. If set =2, then
;                         the longitude lines are labeled in hours and minutes.
;       CHARSIZE       = If /LABEL is set, then CHARSIZE specifies the size
;                         of the label characters (passed to XYOUTS)
;       CHARTHICK     =  If /LABEL is set, then CHARTHICK specifies the 
;                         thickness of the label characters (passed to XYOUTS)
;       /NEW          =   If this keyword is set, then EQPOLE_GRID will create
;                         a new plot, rather than overlay an existing plot.
;
;       Any valid keyword to OPLOT such as COLOR, LINESTYLE, THICK can be 
;       passed to AITOFF_GRID (though the _EXTRA facility) to to specify the
;       color, style, or thickness of the grid lines.
; OUTPUTS:
;       Draws grid lines on current graphics device.
;
; EXAMPLE:
;       Create a labeled equal area projection grid of the Galaxy, centered on
;       the South pole, and overlay stars at specified Galactic longitudes, 
;       glong and latitudes, glat
;
;       IDL> eqpole_grid,/label,/new,/south       ;Create labeled grid
;       IDL> eqpole, glong, glat, x,y      ;Convert to X,Y coordinates
;       IDL> plots,x,y,psym=2              ;Overplot "star" positions.
