% STK_LEGEND create a legend automatically
%
% CALL: stk_legend ()
%
%   creates a legend automatically, using only the graphical objcts for which a
%   non-empty DisplayName has been provided.
%
% CALL: h = stk_legend ()
%
%   also return a handle to the legend (which is either a numerical handle or a
%   Legend object, depending on the version of Matlab/Octave that you are
%   using).
%
% NOTE:
%
%   Creating and displaying a legend is painfully slow in some versions of M/O.
%   You should *really* avoid doing that inside a loop if you want a reasonably
%   fast update of the display.
