function[fillhandle,msg]=jbfill(xpoints,upper,lower,color,edge,add,transparency)
%USAGE: [fillhandle,msg]=jbfill(xpoints,upper,lower,color,edge,add,transparency)
%This function will fill a region with a color between the two vectors provided
%using the Matlab fill command.
%
%fillhandle is the returned handle to the filled region in the plot.
%xpoints= The horizontal data points (ie frequencies). Note length(Upper)
%         must equal Length(lower)and must equal length(xpoints)!
%upper = the upper curve values (data can be less than lower)
%lower = the lower curve values (data can be more than upper)
%color = the color of the filled area 
%edge  = the color around the edge of the filled area
%add   = a flag to add to the current plot or make a new one.
%transparency is a value ranging from 1 for opaque to 0 for invisible for
%the filled color only.
