## @deftypefn  {Function File} {[@var{c}, @var{lev}] =} contourc (@var{z})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{c}, @var{lev}] =} contourc (@var{z}, @var{vn})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{c}, @var{lev}] =} contourc (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z})
## @deftypefnx {Function File} {[@var{c}, @var{lev}] =} contourc (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z}, @var{vn})
## Compute contour lines (isolines of constant Z value).
##
## The matrix @var{z} contains height values above the rectangular grid
## determined by @var{x} and @var{y}.  If only a single input @var{z} is
## provided then @var{x} is taken to be @code{1:rows (@var{z})} and @var{y} is
## taken to be @code{1:columns (@var{z})}.
##
## The optional input @var{vn} is either a scalar denoting the number of
## contour lines to compute or a vector containing the Z values where lines
## will be computed.  When @var{vn} is a vector the number of contour lines
## is @code{numel (@var{vn})}.  However, to compute a single contour line
## at a given value use @code{@var{vn} = [val, val]}.  If @var{vn} is omitted
## it defaults to 10.
##
## The return value @var{c} is a 2x@var{n} matrix containing the
## contour lines in the following format
##
## @example
## @group
## @var{c} = [lev1, x1, x2, @dots{}, levn, x1, x2, ...
##      len1, y1, y2, @dots{}, lenn, y1, y2, @dots{}]
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## in which contour line @var{n} has a level (height) of @var{levn} and
## length of @var{lenn}.
##
## The optional return value @var{lev} is a vector with the Z values of
## of the contour levels.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## x = 0:2;
## y = x;
## z = x' * y;
## contourc (x, y, z, 2:3)
##    @result{}   2.0000   2.0000   1.0000   3.0000   1.5000   2.0000
##         2.0000   1.0000   2.0000   2.0000   2.0000   1.5000
