## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{v}, @var{lambda}, @var{c}] =} condeig (@var{a})
## Computes condition numbers for the eigenvalues of a matrix. The
## condition numbers are the reciprocals of the cosines of the angles
## between the left and right eigenvectors.
##
## Arguments are
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{a} must be a square numeric matrix.
## @end itemize
##
## Return values are
##
## @itemize @bullet
## @item
## @var{c} is a vector of condition numbers for the eigenvalue of
## @var{a}.
##
## @item
## @var{v} is the matrix of right eigenvectors of @var{a}. The result is
## the same as for @code{[v, lambda] = eig (a)}.
##
## @item
## @var{lambda} is the diagonal matrix of eigenvalues of @var{a}. The
## result is the same as for @code{[v, lambda] = eig (a)}.
## @end itemize
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## a = [1, 2; 3, 4];
## c = condeig (a)
## @result{} [1.0150; 1.0150]
## @end group
## @end example
