## is specified then @var{x}, @var{y} default to the indices of @var{z}.
##
## The speed of the comet may be controlled by @var{p}, which represents the
## time each point is displayed before moving to the next one.  The default for
## @var{p} is 0.1 seconds.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
