Colorbar labeling

Pimp up your colorbars. And easily!

You are now following this Submission

Awefully simple code in order to gain some time when trying to label the colorbars.
Works for individual plot or subplots, handles single- and multi-line labels on the top, bottom and/or right of the colorbar.

Input: colorbar handle ([] if unknown), label location ('top', 'bottom' or 'right'), indication for subplots (1 if subplots, 0 otherwise), text label (normal MatLab style)

Output: Nicely postioned labels for the colorbars

Warning: 1) If the label is too close to the colorbar or graph, try reapplying the function, it will largen up the gap

Example: colorbarlabel([],'r',0,[{'String line1'},{'String line2'}])
