## Draw a 3-D scatter plot.
##
## A marker is plotted at each point defined by the coordinates in the vectors
## @var{x}, @var{y}, and @var{z}.
##
## The size of the markers is determined by @var{s}, which can be a scalar
## or a vector of the same length as @var{x}, @var{y}, and @var{z}.  If @var{s}
## is not given, or is an empty matrix, then a default value of 8 points is
## used.
##
## The color of the markers is determined by @var{c}, which can be a string
## defining a fixed color; a 3-element vector giving the red, green, and blue
## components of the color; a vector of the same length as @var{x} that gives
## a scaled index into the current colormap; or an @nospell{Nx3} matrix defining
## the RGB color of each marker individually.
##
## The marker to use can be changed with the @var{style} argument, that is a
## string defining a marker in the same manner as the @code{plot} command.
## If no marker is specified it defaults to 'o' or circles.
## If the argument "filled" is given then the markers are filled.
##
## Additional property/value pairs are passed directly to the underlying
## patch object.
##
## 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 hggroup
## object representing the points.
##
## @example
## @group
## [x, y, z] = peaks (20);
## scatter3 (x(:), y(:), z(:), [], z(:));
## @end group
