%BOUNDEDLINE Plot a line with shaded error/confidence bounds
%
% [hl, hp] = boundedline(x, y, b)
% [hl, hp] = boundedline(x, y, b, linespec)
% [hl, hp] = boundedline(x1, y1, b1, linespec1,  x2, y2, b2, linespec2)
% [hl, hp] = boundedline(..., 'alpha')
% [hl, hp] = boundedline(..., ax)

% [hl, hp] = boundedline(..., 'orientation', orient)
% [hl, hp] = boundedline(..., 'cmap', cmap)
%
% Input variables:
%
%   x, y:       x and y values, either vectors of the same length, matrices
%               of the same size, or vector/matrix pair where the row or
%               column size of the array matches the length of the vector
%               (same requirements as for plot function).
%
%   b:          npoint x nsize x nline array.  Distance from line to
%               boundary, for each point along the line (dimension 1), for
%               each side of the line (lower/upper or left/right, depending
%               on orientation) (dimension 2), and for each plotted line
%               described by the preceding x-y values (dimension 3).  If
%               size(b,1) == 1, the bounds will be the same for all points
%               along the line.  If size(b,2) == 1, the bounds will be
%               symmetrical on both sides of the lines.  If size(b,3) == 1,
%               the same bounds will be applied to all lines described by
%               the preceding x-y arrays (only applicable when either x or
%               y is an array).  Bounds cannot include Inf, -Inf, or NaN,
%
%   linespec:   line specification that determines line type, marker
%               symbol, and color of the plotted lines for the preceding
%               x-y values.
%
%   'alpha':    if included, the bounded area will be rendered with a
%               partially-transparent patch the same color as the
%               corresponding line(s).  If not included, the bounded area
%               will be an opaque patch with a lighter shade of the
%               corresponding line color.
%
%   ax:         handle of axis where lines will be plotted.  If not
%               included, the current axis will be used.
%
%   transp:     Scalar between 0 and 1 indicating with the transparency or
%               intensity of color of the bounded area patch. Default is
%               0.2.
%
%   orient:     'vert': add bounds in vertical (y) direction (default)
%               'horiz': add bounds in horizontal (x) direction 
%
%   cmap:       n x 3 colormap array.  If included, lines will be colored
%               (in order of plotting) according to this colormap,
%               overriding any linespec or default colors. 
%
% Output variables:
%
%   hl:         handles to line objects
%
%   hp:         handles to patch objects
%
% Example:
%
% x = linspace(0, 2*pi, 50);
% y1 = sin(x);
% y2 = cos(x);
% e1 = rand(size(y1))*.5+.5;
% e2 = [.25 .5];
% 
% ax(1) = subplot(2,2,1);
% [l,p] = boundedline(x, y1, e1, '-b*', x, y2, e2, '--ro');
% outlinebounds(l,p);
% title('Opaque bounds, with outline');
% 
% ax(2) = subplot(2,2,2);
% boundedline(x, [y1;y2], rand(length(y1),2,2)*.5+.5, 'alpha');
% title('Transparent bounds');
% 
% ax(3) = subplot(2,2,3);
% boundedline([y1;y2], x, e1(1), 'orientation', 'horiz')
% title('Horizontal bounds');
% 
% ax(4) = subplot(2,2,4);
% boundedline(x, repmat(y1, 4,1), permute(0.5:-0.1:0.2, [3 1 2]), ...
%             'cmap', cool(4), 'transparency', 0.5);
