% Construct a piece-wise polynomial structure from sample points
% @var{x} and coefficients @var{p}. The i-th row of @var{p},
% @code{@var{p} (@var{i},:)}, contains the coefficients for the polynomial
% over the @var{i}-th interval, ordered from highest to
% lowest. There must be one row for each interval in @var{x}, so
% @code{rows (@var{p}) == length (@var{x}) - 1}.
%
% You can concatenate multiple polynomials of the same order over the
% same set of intervals using @code{@var{p} = [ @var{p1}; @var{p2};
% @dots{}; @var{pd} ]}. In this case, @code{rows (@var{p}) == @var{d}
% * (length (@var{x}) - 1)}.
%
% @var{d} specifies the shape of the matrix @var{p} for all except the
% last dimension. If @var{d} is not specified it will be computed as
% @code{round (rows (@var{p}) / (length (@var{x}) - 1))} instead.
