## Plot a 2-D vector field with arrows.
##
## Plot the (@var{u}, @var{v}) components of a vector field at the grid points
## defined by (@var{x}, @var{y}).  If the grid is uniform then @var{x} and
## @var{y} can be specified as vectors and @code{meshgrid} is used to create
## the 2-D grid.
##
## If @var{x} and @var{y} are not given they are assumed to be
## @code{(1:@var{m}, 1:@var{n})} where
## @code{[@var{m}, @var{n}] = size (@var{u})}.
##
## The optional input @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 1.0 will
## result in the longest vector exactly filling one grid square.  A value of 0
## disables all scaling.  The default value is 0.9.
##
## 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 the markers are drawn at the origin of the vectors (which are the grid
## points defined by @var{x} and @var{y}).  When a marker is specified, the
## arrowhead is not drawn.  If the argument @qcode{"filled"} is given then the
## markers are filled.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## 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:
##
## @example
## @group
## [x, y] = meshgrid (1:2:20);
## h = quiver (x, y, sin (2*pi*x/10), sin (2*pi*y/10));
## set (h, "maxheadsize", 0.33);
## @end group
## @end example
