## Create patch object in the current axes with vertices at locations
## (@var{x}, @var{y}) and of color @var{c}.
##
## If the vertices are matrices of size @nospell{MxN} then each polygon patch
## has M vertices and a total of N polygons will be created.  If some polygons
## do not have M vertices use NaN to represent "no vertex".  If the @var{z}
## input is present then 3-D patches will be created.
##
## The color argument @var{c} can take many forms.  To create polygons
## which all share a single color use a string value (e.g., "r" for
## red), a scalar value which is scaled by @code{caxis} and indexed into the
## current colormap, or a 3-element RGB vector with the precise TrueColor.
##
## If @var{c} is a vector of length N then the ith polygon will have a color
## determined by scaling entry @var{c}(i) according to @code{caxis} and then
## indexing into the current colormap.  More complicated coloring situations
## require directly manipulating patch property/value pairs.
##
## Instead of specifying polygons by matrices @var{x} and @var{y}, it is
## possible to present a unique list of vertices and then a list of polygon
## faces created from those vertices.  In this case the "Vertices" matrix will
## be an @nospell{Nx2} (2-D patch) or @nospell{Nx3} (3-D path).  The
## @nospell{MxN} "Faces" matrix describes M polygons having N vertices---each
## row describes a single polygon and each column entry is an index into the
## "Vertices" matrix to identify a vertex.  The patch object can be created by
## directly passing the property/value pairs "Vertices"/@var{verts},
## "Faces"/@var{faces} as inputs.
##
## A third input form is to create a structure @var{fv} with the fields
## "vertices", "faces", and optionally "facevertexcdata".
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the created patch
## object.
##
## Implementation Note: Patches are highly configurable objects.  To truly
## customize them requires setting patch properties directly.  Useful patch
## properties are: "cdata", "edgecolor", "facecolor", "faces",
## "facevertexcdata",
