##
## Piecewise Cubic Hermite interpolating polynomial. Called with two
## arguments, the piece-wise polynomial @var{pp} is returned, that may
## later be used with @code{ppval} to evaluate the polynomial at
## specific points.
##
## The variable @var{x} must be a strictly monotonic vector (either
## increasing or decreasing). While @var{y} can be either a vector or
## array. In the case where @var{y} is a vector, it must have a length
## of @var{n}. If @var{y} is an array, then the size of @var{y} must
## have the form
## @iftex
## @tex
## $$[s_1, s_2, \cdots, s_k, n]$$
## @end tex
## @end iftex
## @ifinfo
## @code{[@var{s1}, @var{s2}, @dots{}, @var{sk}, @var{n}]}
## @end ifinfo
## The array is then reshaped internally to a matrix where to leading
## dimension is given by 
## @iftex
## @tex
## $$s_1 s_2 \cdots s_k$$
## @end tex
## @end iftex
## @ifinfo
## @code{@var{s1} * @var{s2} * @dots{} * @var{sk}}
## @end ifinfo
## and each row this matrix is then treated seperately. Note that this
## is exactly the opposite treatment than @code{interp1} and is done
## for compatiability.
##
## Called with a third input argument, @code{pchip} evaluates the 
## piece-wise polynomial at the points @var{xi}. There is an equivalence
## between @code{ppval (pchip (@var{x}, @var{y}), @var{xi})} and
## @code{pchip (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{xi})}.
