function h=m_ruler(posx,posy,varargin)
% M_RULER Draws a distance scalebar for a map
%   M_RULER([X1 X2],Y1) draws a horizontal scale bar between the
%   normalized coordinates (X1,Y1) and (X2,Y1) where both X/Y are
%   in the range 0 to 1.  
%   M_RULER(X1,[Y1 Y2]) draws a vertical scalebar
%   M_RULER(...,NINTS) draws the scalebar with NINTS intervals
%   if NINTS is a scalar (default 4).  Distances of each interval are 
%   chosen to be 'nice'. If NINTS is a vector it is understood to be
%   the distances to be used (in meters)
%
%   M_RULER(....,'parameter','value',...) lets you specify
%   extra parameter/value pairs in the usual handle-graphics way.
%   'color' and 'fontsize' are probably the most useful, 'tickdir'
%   'in' and 'out' chooses between different styles.
%
%   Probably BEST to call this AFTER M_GRID otherwise placement might
%   seem a bit odd.
%
% WARNING - the scalebar is probably not useful for any global
%           (i.e. whole-world) or even a significant-part-of-the-globe
%           map, but I won't stop you using it. Caveat user!
