Matlab engineering

I've been banging my head against the wall with this for a while. I'm almost done with my final write up of a lab (rejoices) BUT... my profressor insists on everything being perfect. The lab involves extensive processing in MATLAB. What I want to do should be fairly simple. I have a velocity (quiver function) plot that I created in MATLAB. My professor wants a scale on this... I.E. something generated by matlab to give meaning to the arrows (just a little line that says a line 1 centimter long is X meters per second). Is there a way to get matlab to output this on the graph or do I have to do it by hand??? Anyone have any ideas? Is there a better function in MATLAB for this than quiver?

I did a little more searching and found something that will work. It's a script written by a guy a Maryland called quiver_scale. Thanks for your help.
