function [x_med_out,y_med,y_low,y_high] = binned_plot(x,y,varargin)
% BINNED_PLOT binned scatter plot
%
% BINNED_PLOT(X,Y) splits vector X into bins of aproximately equal size,
% and plots each median against the median of the corresponding Y-values,
% as well as their inter-quartile range. X and Y must have the same
% number of rows or columns.
%
% BINNED_PLOT(X,Y,NUM_BINS) also specifies the (maximum) number of bins.
%
%
% [X_MED,Y_MED,Y_LOW,Y_HIGH] = BINNED_PLOT(...) returns the median of the
% X-bin, the median, lower and upper quartile of the corresponding Y-values
%
% Additional properties can be set as attribute-value pairs:
% - 'y_range' : specifies the width of the Y-band (range 0 .. 0.5;
% e.g., 0.5 plots the range between maxima and minima);
% default: 0.25
% - 'y_mean_std' : plot means and standard deviations instead of medians
% and quartiles ['on','off']
% - 'style' : plotting style (same options as in plot command)
% - 'density' : transparency corresponds to the number of points in
% the shaded area ['on','off']
% - 'transparency' : transparency of filled range (for non-density plots)
% - 'transparency_min': minimum transparency of filled range (for density plots)
% - 'transparency_max': maximum transparency of filled range (for density plots)
%
%
% Example:
% x=0:0.1:20;
% y=[sin(x); cos(x)] + randn(2,201);
% binned_plot(x,y)
