Name
       make_staircase
Purpose
       Calculate a "staircase" of x and y values from input x and y
       and associated dx and dy arrays. This allows nicer plotting
       than IDL's "histogram" symbol
Category
       Plotting
Calling Sequence
       make_staircase,x,y,dx,dy,xstair,ystair
Input Parameters
       x  : array of original x values
       y  : array of original y values
       dx : array of dx values = halfwidth of step
Optional Input Parameters
       none
Keyword Parameters
       none
Output Parameters
       xstair : array of x-values of staircase
       ystair : array of y-values of staircase
Optional Output
       none
Common Blocks
       none
Side Effects
       none
Restrictions
       All input arrays must be 1-dimensional and have same size
Procedure
