Program: MKMAKEMAP

  mkmakemap....... main map plotting routine
 
  call: map=mkmakemap(mapopt);
 
        mapopt: map options structure as returned by MKMAPOPT
 
        With no input parameters:
                 shaded relief map of Mars Topography
                 longitude east positive
                 center meridian 0
                 latitude -90...90
                 longitude -180...180
                 projection: plate caree
                 (these are not really the projection settings, this
                 is just a short description of what you get)
        The no parameter mode is a historical artefact and is kept here
        to be compatible with many of my older mars related programs.
 
  result: map: structure containing map description and handles to
               generated map objects
               map.figure: figure, in which map is drawn (gcf)
               map.axes: axes in which map is drawn (gca)
               map.surf: handle to surface or patch object, 
                         containing the topography
                         If mapopt.proj_pole specifies a rotation,
                         trisurf is used to plot the topography as a
                         number of patches instead of a surface.
                         NOTE that you cannot add a texture map to a
                         patch to define color!!
               map.grid: handle to line object, containing the grid
               map.frame: handle to the object that contains the map frame
               map.bar: handles to objects of 3D colorbar
               map.exag: vertical exaggeration of topography
               map.minz: minimum topographic height [m]
               map.maxz: maximum topographic height [m]
               map.lon:  longitude matrix to plot surface [deg]
               map.lat:  latitude matrix to plot surface [deg]
 
               When no input arguments are specified, only the fields
               figure, axes, aurf, exag, minz, maxz, lon, lat are returned.

  BUGS: can currently not plot anything but the default...
