function project(h,option)
 
%PROJECT  Projects existing graphics objects onto a map axes
%
%  PROJECT(h) will take existing displayed graphics objects (lines,
%  surfaces, etc) specified by the input handles h and project the
%  data onto a map axes.  The existing objects must be displayed on a
%  valid map axes, but not projected using the map definition data.
%  For example, PROJECT will take data displayed using the PLOT command
%  and re-display it on a map as if it were plotted using the PLOTM
%  command.  If a scalar axis handle is provided, then all the children
%  of the axes are projected.
%
%  PROJECT(h,'option') uses the option string to specify the relationship
%  between x,y data and latitude, longitude data.  'xy' defines x
%  data as longitude and y data as latitude.  'yx' defines x data as
%  latitude and x data as longitude (which occurs with accidental use of 
%  a non-mapping MATLAB display command, such as PLOT instead of PLOTM).  
%  If omitted, option = 'xy' is assumed.
