function handle=sircolorbar(loc,cmin,cmax)
% handle = sircolorbar(loc,min,max)
%   Display color bar
%
%   loc='vert' appends a vertical color scale to the current
%   axis. loc='horiz' appends a horizontal color scale.
%
%   loc=H places the colorbar in the axes H. The colorbar will
%   be horizontal if the axes H width > height (in pixels).
%
%   COLORBAR without arguments either adds a new vertical color scale
%   or updates an existing colorbar.
%
%   optional cmin,cmax give the labels for the minimum and maximum on scale
%
%   handle = handle to the colorbar axis.
