STOUR_PLOT (version 2.0)
%----------------------------------------------------------
This directory (stour_plot) contains MATLAB
scripts to read STOUR AUTO1 files and to
make plots of the acquired data.

STOUR_PLOT was written by Michael Jokic
while he was a visiting research scholar
at Purdue University.  His email address at
the University of Queensland is:

jokic@mech.uq.edu.au

The main MATLAB function is STOUR_PLOT.m.  Please read the 
opening comments to see what files are needed to run the 
function.

To use the plotting function, the directory: 

/home/roger/c/aae508/usr/bin/stour_plot

must be added to the MATLAB path via the command:

>> addpath /home/roger/c/aae508/usr/bin/stour_plot

The program is initiated by typing STOUR_PLOT at the command prompt
in MATLAB. i.e.

>> STOUR_PLOT


%----------------------------------------------------------
% Important Notes:
%----------------------------------------------------------
In some cases, STOUR leaves entries blank or inserts asterisk marks (***).
These entries are turned into zeros to permit manipulation of the data.  
Changing the entries to zero may affect the STOUR plots if the modified 
entries are referenced. If there is any doubt about the validity of an 
entry, please check the original AUTO1 file. Warnings are given if blank 
entries or asterisks are found.

% Plotting tricks:
%----------------------------------------------------------
Sometimes the symbols on the colorbar disappear, 
or the x-labels (when they are dates)
will be incorrectly positioned after zooming.  

To reformat both x-axis dates and the symbols on the colorbar-->
Press any key. (except function keys, e.g. ctrl, alt, shift etc.)

To reformat the symbols on the colorbar only-->
Click on the colorbar with the mouse.

The trajectory plotting routines do not work
for all possible cases.  The subdirectory
stour_plot_notraj has the trajectory plotting
capability removed.
