% changeunits() - Takes one or more points in one axes and gives its position 
%                 in another axes. Useful for drawing lines between 
%                 sbplots (see sbplot()).
%
%  Usage: >> newpoint(s) = changeunits(point(s),curaxhandle,newaxhandle)
%
%  Inputs:
%     point(s)    - two-column vector of current [x y] data point locations 
%     curaxhandle - the point's current axes
%     newaxhandle - the new axes handle. If figure handle or absent, returns 
%                   the coordinates of the points in the whole figure 
%
%  Output:  
%     newpoint(s) - the coordinates of the same point(s) in the new axes
%
%  Example: 
%  >> figure
%  >> small1 = sbplot(4,4,10); % small axes in lower left
%  >> plot(0.3,0.4,'ro'); % mark point [0.3 0.4] in small1 axes
%  >> axis([0 1 0 1]); % set axes limits
%    
%  >> small2 = sbplot(4,4,7);  % small axes in upper right
%  >> plot(0.6,0.7,'ro'); % mark point [0.6 0.7] in small2 axes
%  >> axis([0 1 0 1]); % set axes limits
%    
%  >> large = sbplot(1,1,1);   % normal whole figure axes
%  >> % Now draw line from point [0.3 0.4] in small1 axes
%  >> %                 to point [0.6 0.7] in small2 axes
%  >> from = changeunits([0.3 0.4],small1,large); % point in small1 axes
%  >> to   = changeunits([0.6 0.7],small2,large); % point in small2 axes
%  >> plot([from(1) to(1)],[from(2) to(2)])
%  >> axis([0 1 0 1]); % set large axes limits
%  >> axis off % finally, hide large axes
