## @deftypefn  {} {@var{z} =} cross (@var{x}, @var{y})
## @deftypefnx {} {@var{z} =} cross (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{dim})
## Compute the vector cross product of two 3-dimensional vectors @var{x} and
## @var{y}.
##
## If @var{x} and @var{y} are arrays, the cross product is applied along the
## first dimension with three elements.
##
## The optional argument  @var{dim} forces the cross product to be calculated
## along the specified dimension.  An error will be produced if the specified
## dimension is not three elements in size.
##
## Example Code:
##
## @example
## @group
## cross ([1, 1, 0], [0, 1, 1])
##   @result{}
##        1  -1   1
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @example
## @group
## cross (magic (3), eye (3), 2)
##   @result{}
##        0   6  -1
##       -7   0   3
##        9  -4   0
## @end group
## @end example
