## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{xx}, @var{yy}, @var{zz}] =} meshgrid (@var{x})
## Given vectors of @var{x} and @var{y} coordinates, return matrices @var{xx}
## and @var{yy} corresponding to a full 2-D grid.
##
## The rows of @var{xx} are copies of @var{x}, and the columns of @var{yy} are
## copies of @var{y}.  If @var{y} is omitted, then it is assumed to be the same
## as @var{x}.
##
## If the optional @var{z} input is given, or @var{zz} is requested, then the
## output will be a full 3-D grid.
##
## @code{meshgrid} is most frequently used to produce input for a 2-D or 3-D
## function that will be plotted.  The following example creates a surface
## plot of the ``sombrero'' function.
##
## @example
## @group
## f = @@(x,y) sin (sqrt (x.^2 + y.^2)) ./ sqrt (x.^2 + y.^2);
## range = linspace (-8, 8, 41);
## [@var{X}, @var{Y}] = meshgrid (range, range);
## Z = f (X, Y);
## surf (X, Y, Z);
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Programming Note: @code{meshgrid} is restricted to 2-D or 3-D grid
## generation.  The @code{ndgrid} function will generate 1-D through N-D
## grids.  However, the functions are not completely equivalent.  If @var{x}
## is a vector of length M and @var{y} is a vector of length N, then
## @code{meshgrid} will produce an output grid which is NxM@.  @code{ndgrid}
## will produce an output which is @nospell{MxN} (transpose) for the same
## input.  Some core functions expect @code{meshgrid} input and others expect
## @code{ndgrid} input.  Check the documentation for the function in question
## to determine the proper input format.
