## Plot a function @var{fn} within the range defined by @var{limits}.
##
## @var{fn} is a function handle, inline function, or string containing the
## name of the function to evaluate.
##
## The limits of the plot are of the form @w{@code{[@var{xlo}, @var{xhi}]}} or
## @w{@code{[@var{xlo}, @var{xhi}, @var{ylo}, @var{yhi}]}}.  If no limits
## are specified the default is @code{[-5, 5]}.
##
## The next three arguments are all optional and any number of them may be
## given in any order.
##
## @var{tol} is the relative tolerance to use for the plot and defaults
## to 2e-3 (.2%).
##
## @var{n} is the minimum number of points to use.  When @var{n} is specified,
## the maximum stepsize will be @code{(@var{xhi} - @var{xlo}) / @var{n}}.  More
## than @var{n} points may still be used in order to meet the relative
## tolerance requirement.
##
## The @var{fmt} argument specifies the linestyle to be used by the plot
## command.
##
## Multiple property-value pairs may also be specified, but they must appear
## in pairs.  These arguments are applied to the line objects drawn by
## @code{plot}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## With no output arguments, the results are immediately plotted.  With two
## output arguments, the 2-D plot data is returned.  The data can subsequently
## be plotted manually with @code{plot (@var{x}, @var{y})}.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## fplot (@@cos, [0, 2*pi])
## fplot ("[cos(x), sin(x)]", [0, 2*pi])
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Programming Notes:
##
## @code{fplot} works best with continuous functions.  Functions with
## discontinuities are unlikely to plot well.  This restriction may be removed
## in the future.
##
## @code{fplot} performance is better when the function accepts and returns a
## vector argument.  Consider this when writing user-defined functions and use
## element-by-element operators such as @code{.*}, @code{./}, etc.  See the
## function @code{vectorize} for potentially converting inline or anonymous
## functions to vectorized versions.
