function newmap = brighten(map,beta)
%BRIGHTEN Brighten or darken color map.
%   BRIGHTEN(BETA) replaces the current color map with a brighter
%   or darker map involving essentially the same colors.  The map is
%   brighter if 0 < BETA <= 1 and darker if -1 <= BETA < 0.
%
%   BRIGHTEN(BETA), followed by BRIGHTEN(-BETA) restores the
%   original map.
%   
%   MAP = BRIGHTEN(BETA) returns a brighter or darker version of the
%   color map currently being used without changing the display.
%
%   NEWMAP = BRIGHTEN(MAP,BETA) returns a brighter or darker version
%   of the specified color map without changing the display.
%
%   BRIGHTEN(FIG,BETA) brightens all the objects in the figure FIG.
