## @deftypefn {Function File} {} mesh (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z})
## Plot a mesh given matrices @var{x}, and @var{y} from @code{meshdom} and
## a matrix @var{z} corresponding to the @var{x} and @var{y} coordinates of
## the mesh.  If @var{x} and @var{y} are vectors, then a typical vertex
## is (@var{x}(j), @var{y}(i), @var{z}(i,j)).  Thus, columns of @var{z}
## correspond to different @var{x} values and rows of @var{z} correspond
## to different @var{y} values.
