DESCRIPTION ^

% -*- texinfo -*-
% @deftypefn {Function File} {} plotmatrix (@var{x}, @var{y})
% @deftypefnx {Function File} {} plotmatrix (@var{x})
% @deftypefnx {Function File} {} plotmatrix (@dots{}, @var{style})
% @deftypefnx {Function File} {} plotmatrix (@var{h}, @dots{})
% @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{h}, @var{ax}, @var{bigax}, @var{p}, @var{pax}] =} plotmatrix (@dots{})
% Scatter plot of the columns of one matrix against another.  Given the
% arguments @var{x} and @var{y}, that have a matching number of rows,
% @code{plotmatrix} plots a set of axes corresponding to
%
% @example
% plot (@var{x} (:, i), @var{y} (:, j)
% @end example
%
% Given a single argument @var{x}, then this is equivalent to 
%
% @example
% plotmatrix (@var{x}, @var{x})
% @end example
%
% @noindent
% except that the diagonal of the set of axes will be replaced with the
% histogram @code{hist (@var{x} (:, i))}.
%
% The marker to use can be changed with the @var{style} argument, that is a 
% string defining a marker in the same manner as the @code{plot}
% command.  If a leading axes handle @var{h} is passed to
% @code{plotmatrix}, then this axis will be used for the plot.
%
% The optional return value @var{h} provides handles to the individual
% graphics objects in the scatter plots, whereas @var{ax} returns the
% handles to the scatter plot axis objects.  @var{bigax} is a hidden
% axis object that surrounds the other axes, such that the commands 
% @code{xlabel}, @code{title}, etc., will be associated with this hidden
% axis.  Finally @var{p} returns the graphics objects associated with
% the histogram and @var{pax} the corresponding axes objects.
%
% @example
% @group
% plotmatrix (randn (100, 3), 'g+')
% @end group
% @end example
%
% @end deftypefn
