function h=axisscroll(type);

% AXISSCROLL Creates scrollbar(s) for the current axes.
%    h=AXISSCROLL(TYPE) place a scrollbar according with the value of
%    TYPE: 'l' left axis, 'r' right axis, 't' top axis, or 'b' bottom
%    axis. If the axis limits are changed, like zooming in, a call to
%    AXISSCROLL without arguments will allow to move the window. When
%    zooming out to original limits the scrollbar(s) are hidden.
%
%    Figure resizing is handeled automatically.
%
%    Example:
%
%    pcolor(toeplitz(1:20))
%    axisscroll('t');
%    axisscroll('r');
%    xlim([3 6]);
%    ylim([3,6]);
%    axisscroll
