## Plot a 3-D triangular surface.
## 
## In contrast to @code{surf}, which plots a surface mesh using rectangles,
## @code{trisurf} plots the mesh using triangles.
##
## @var{tri} is typically the output of a Delaunay triangulation over the
## grid of @var{x}, @var{y}.  Every row of @var{tri} represents one triangle
## and contains three indices into [@var{x}, @var{y}] which are the
## vertices of the triangles in the x-y plane.  @var{z} determines the
## height above the plane of each vertex.
## 
## The color of the trimesh 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 mesh can be specified independently of @var{z}
## by supplying a color matrix, @var{c}.
##
## Any property/value pairs are passed directly to the underlying patch object.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created patch
## object.
