## Plots the mesh defined by a function.  @var{f} is a string, inline
## function or function handle with two arguments defining the function.  By
## default the plot is over the domain @code{-2*pi < @var{x} < 2*pi} and
## @code{-2*pi < @var{y} < 2*pi} with 60 points in each dimension.
##
## If @var{dom} is a two element vector, it represents the minimum and maximum
## value of both @var{x} and @var{y}.  If @var{dom} is a four element vector,
## then the minimum and maximum value of @var{x} and @var{y} are specify
## separately.
##
## @var{n} is a scalar defining the number of points to use in each dimension.
##
## If three functions are passed, then plot the parametrically defined
## function @code{[@var{fx} (@var{s}, @var{t}), @var{fy} (@var{s}, @var{t}),
## @var{fz} (@var{s}, @var{t})]}.
##
## If the argument 'circ' is given, then the function is plotted over a disk
## centered on the middle of the domain @var{dom}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created 
## surface object.
