 QUIVERM  Two dimensional quiver plot projected on a map axes

  QUIVERM(lat,lon,u,v) projects two dimensional vector plot onto the current 
  map axes.  The vectors components (u,v) are specified at the points
  (lat,lon).  Note that both the (lat,lon) and (u,v) data must be in 
  the same angle units as the current map.  The vector is plotted from 
  (lat,lon) to (lat+u,lon+v).

  QUIVERM(lat,lon,u,v,s) uses the input s to scale the vectors after they 
  have been automatically scaled to fit within the rectangular grid.  If 
  omitted, s = 1 is assumed.  To suppress the automatic scaling, specify 
  s = 0.

  QUIVERM(lat,lon,u,v,'LineSpec'), QUIVERM(lat,lon,u,v,'LineSpec',s),
  QUIVERM(lat,lon,u,v,'LineSpec','filled') and
  QUIVERM(lat,lon,u,v,'LineSpec',s,'filled') use the LineSpec string
  to define the line style of the vectors.  If a symbol is specified in 
  'LineSpec', then the symbol is plotted at the base of the vector.  
  Otherwise, an arrow is drawn at the end of the vector.  If a marker is 
  specified at the base, then this symbol can be filled in by providing the 
  input string 'filled'.

  QUIVERM activates a Graphical User Interface to project a quiver plot onto 
  the current map axes.

  h = QUIVERM(...)  returns a vector of handles to the projected vectors.
