function [mflag,msg] = ismap(hndl)

%ISMAP  Test for current map axes
%
%  ISMAP returns a 1 if the current axes (gca) have the proper
%  tag and structure for a map definition.  Otherwise, it
%  returns a 0.
%
%  ISMAP(hndl) tests the axes specified by hndl for a map definition.
%
%  [m,msg] = ISMAP(...) returns an optional second argument
%  which is a string indicating any error state.
