## Create a surface graphic object given matrices @var{x} and @var{y} from
## @code{meshgrid} and a matrix of values @var{z} corresponding to the
## @var{x} and @var{y} coordinates of the surface.
##
## If @var{x} and @var{y} are vectors, then a typical vertex is
## (@var{x}(j), @var{y}(i), @var{z}(i,j)).  Thus, columns of @var{z} correspond
## to different @var{x} values and rows of @var{z} correspond to different
## @var{y} values.  If only a single input @var{z} is given then @var{x} is
## taken to be @code{1:rows (@var{z})} and @var{y} is
## @code{1:columns (@var{z})}.
##
## Any property/value input pairs are assigned to the surface 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 created
## surface object.
