## Plot a 3-D surface mesh.
##
## The surface mesh is plotted using shaded rectangles.  The vertices of the
## rectangles [@var{x}, @var{y}] are typically the output of @code{meshgrid}.
## over a 2-D rectangular region in the x-y plane.  @var{z} determines the
## height above the plane of each vertex.  If only a single @var{z} matrix is
## given, then it is plotted over the meshgrid
## @code{@var{x} = 1:columns (@var{z}), @var{y} = 1:rows (@var{z})}.
## Thus, columns of @var{z} correspond to different @var{x} values and rows
## of @var{z} correspond to different @var{y} values.
##
## The color of the surface is computed by linearly scaling the @var{z} values
## to fit the range of the current colormap.  Use @code{caxis} and/or
## change the colormap to control the appearance.
##
## Optionally, the color of the surface can be specified independently of
## @var{z} by supplying a color matrix, @var{c}.
##
## Any property/value pairs are passed directly to the underlying surface
## object.  The full list of properties is documented at
## @ref{Surface Properties}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created
## surface object.
##
## Note: The exact appearance of the surface can be controlled with the
## @code{shading} command or by using @code{set} to control surface object
## properties.
