_D_e_s_c_r_i_p_t_i_o_n:

     This function produces a color image (color bar) which can be used
     for the legend to another color image obtained from the functions
     'image', 'maImage', or 'maImage.func'.

_U_s_a_g_e:

     maColorBar(x, horizontal=TRUE, col=heat.colors(50), scale=1:length(x), k=10, ...)

_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

       x: If "numeric", a vector containing the "z" values in the color
          image, i.e., the values which are represented in the color
          image. Otherwise, a "character" vector representing colors.

horizontal: If 'TRUE', the values of 'x' are represented as vertical
          color strips in the image, else, the values are represented
          as horizontal color strips.

     col: Vector of colors such as that generated by 'rainbow',
          'heat.colors', 'topo.colors', 'terrain.colors', or similar
          functions. In addition to these color palette functions, a
          new function  'maPalette' was defined to generate color
          palettes from user supplied low, middle, and high color
          values.

   scale: A "numeric" vector specifying the "z" values in the color
          image. This is used when the argument 'x' is a "character"
          vector representing color information.

       k: Object of class "numeric", for the number of labels displayed
          on  the bar.

     ...: Optional graphical parameters, see 'par'.
