function quiverscale(px,py,H)
%QUIVERSCALE creates a scale at the bottom of the quiver plot, 
%which plots the longest vector of the data set(px,py) and displays 
%the vector's corresponding magnitude. The H input argument is the 
%handle to the quiver plot axes.
%
%Please note that the QUIVERSCALE function returns 
%accurate results only when the vectors are plotted 
%to actual scale (e.g.  QUIVER(U,V,S), where S=0).
