% M_PATCH Create patches on a map
%    M_PATCH(LONG,LAT,C) is a drop-in replacement for PATCH that uses 
%    longitude/latitude coordinates to draw a patch on the current map. 
%    See PATCH for more details about the way in which patch colours and 
%    properties should be specified.
%
%    Currently you cannot specify C to be other than a string or 1x3 RGB
%    vector.
%
%    See also M_LINE, M_LL2XY
