## Plot the (@var{u}, @var{v}, @var{w}) components of a vector field in
## an (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z}) meshgrid.  If the grid is uniform, you
## can specify @var{x}, @var{y}, and @var{z} as vectors.
##
## If @var{x}, @var{y}, and @var{z} are undefined they are assumed to be
## @code{(1:@var{m}, 1:@var{n}, 1:@var{p})} where @code{[@var{m}, @var{n}] =
## size (@var{u})} and @code{@var{p} = max (size (@var{w}))}.
##
## The variable @var{s} is a scalar defining a scaling factor to use for
## the arrows of the field relative to the mesh spacing.  A value of 0
## disables all scaling.  The default value is 1.
##
## The style to use for the plot can be defined with a line style @var{style}
## of the same format as the @code{plot} command.
## If a marker is specified then markers at the grid points of the vectors are
## drawn rather than arrows.  If the argument "filled" is given then the
## markers are filled.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to a quiver object.
## A quiver object regroups the components of the quiver plot (body, arrow,
## and marker), and allows them to be changed together.
##
## @example
## @group
## [x, y, z] = peaks (25);
## surf (x, y, z);
