DESCRIPTION ^

% -*- texinfo -*-
% @deftypefn {Function File} {} plot3 (@var{args})
% Produce three-dimensional plots.  Many different combinations of
% arguments are possible.  The simplest form is
%
% @example
% plot3 (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z})
% @end example
%
% @noindent
% in which the arguments are taken to be the vertices of the points to
% be plotted in three dimensions.  If all arguments are vectors of the
% same length, then a single continuous line is drawn.  If all arguments
% are matrices, then each column of the matrices is treated as a
% separate line.  No attempt is made to transpose the arguments to make
% the number of rows match.
%
% If only two arguments are given, as
%
% @example
% plot3 (@var{x}, @var{c})
% @end example
%
% @noindent
% the real and imaginary parts of the second argument are used
% as the @var{y} and @var{z} coordinates, respectively.
%
% If only one argument is given, as
%
% @example
% plot3 (@var{c})
% @end example
%
% @noindent
% the real and imaginary parts of the argument are used as the @var{y}
% and @var{z} values, and they are plotted versus their index.
%
% Arguments may also be given in groups of three as
%
% @example
% plot3 (@var{x1}, @var{y1}, @var{z1}, @var{x2}, @var{y2}, @var{z2}, @dots{})
% @end example
% 
% @noindent
% in which each set of three arguments is treated as a separate line or
% set of lines in three dimensions.
%
% To plot multiple one- or two-argument groups, separate each group
% with an empty format string, as
%
% @example
% plot3 (@var{x1}, @var{c1}, '', @var{c2}, '', @dots{})
% @end example
%
% An example of the use of @code{plot3} is
%
% @example
% @group
%    z = [0:0.05:5];
%    plot3 (cos(2*pi*z), sin(2*pi*z), z, ';helix;');
%    plot3 (z, exp(2i*pi*z), ';complex sinusoid;');
% @end group
% @end example
% @seealso{plot, xlabel, ylabel, zlabel, title, print}
% @end deftypefn
