function h = colorbarps(varargin)
% colorbarps places a horizontal colorbar in the lower left corner of a
% map of Antarctica. 
% 
%% Syntax
% 
%  colorbarps 
%  colorbarps('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...)
%  h = colorbarps(...) 
% 
%% Description
% 
% colorbarps places a horizontal colorbar in the lower left corner of the
% current axes. Its placement is intended to avoid covering any permanent
% ice in a standard map of Antarctica. 
%
% colorbarps('PropertyName',PropertyValue,...) specifies any colorbar
% properties. 
%
% h = colorbarps(...) returns a handle of the colorbar. 
% 
%% Example 
% 
% figure
% antbounds % draws an outline of the continent 
% colorbarps

% Position of current axes:

% Position of colorbar relative to current axes: 
cbpos = [axpos(1)+axpos(3)/30 axpos(2)+axpos(4)/30 axpos(3)/2.5 axpos(3)/30];

function pos = plotboxpos(h)
%PLOTBOXPOS Returns the position of the plotted axis region
%
% pos = plotboxpos(h)
%
% This function returns the position of the plotted region of an axis,
% which may differ from the actual axis position, depending on the axis
% limits, data aspect ratio, and plot box aspect ratio.  The position is
% returned in the same units as the those used to define the axis itself.
% This function can only be used for a 2D plot.  
%
% Input variables:
%
%   h:      axis handle of a 2D axis (if ommitted, current axis is used).
%
% Output variables:
%
%   pos:    four-element position vector, in same units as h
