Add a reference arrow to 2D quiver plot

Description

% addrefarrow(h,x,y,u,v)
%
% This is a quick hack to add a scale/reference arrow at a desired position
% given by the input argument (x,y). The scale arrow length in the x
% direction is given by u, in the y direction by v.
%
% WARNING, this function modifies the data contained in the quiver graphics
% group handle h!

In order for this to work, you must create the quiver plot using;

hq = quiver(X,Y,U,V);

It will not work if you create:

hq = quiver(U,V);
