ScrollPlot - scrollable X/Y axes

ScrollPlot adds a scroll sub-window to any supplied plot handles (or current [gca] axes if no handle was supplied). This enables easy plot or image exploration. The user can specify initial view window parameters or use the defaults.
Dragging the side-bars or central patch modifies the parent axes limits interactively. Conversely, modifying the parent axes limits (with zoom, pan or programatically) modifies the corresponding scroll patch(es) accordingly.

Both X & Y scrolling are possible.

Custom properties provide access to the scroll axes, central patch and side-bars, for user customizations (e.g., color, patch opacity level, side-bar line-width, etc.).

ScrollPlot works on Matlab 6 (R12) and up.

Syntax:
scrollHandles = scrollplot(plotHandles, propName,propValue,...)

Examples:
>> scrollplot; % add scroll sub-window to the current axes (gca)
>> scrollplot(plot(xdata,ydata), 'WindowSize',50); % plot with initial zoom
>> scrollplot('Min',20, 'windowsize',70); % add x-scroll to current axes
>> scrollplot([h1,h2], 'axis','xy'); % scroll both X&Y of 2 plot axes
>> scrollplot('axis','xy', 'minx',20, 'miny',10); % separate scroll minima

Warning:
This code relies in [small] part on undocumented and unsupported Matlab functionality. It works on Matlab 6+, but use at your own risk!

This ScrollPlot was inspired by Steve Lord's scrollplot demo submission, but is an entirely new implementation with lots of new functionality.
