PLOT3 Plot 3D Function

Section: Handle-Based Graphics

# Usage

This is the 3D plot command. The general syntax for its use is

      plot3(X,Y,Z,{linespec 1},X,Y,Z,{linespec 2},...,properties...)

where `X` `Y` and `Z` are the coordinates of the points on the 3D line. Note that in general, all three should be vectors. If some or all of the quantities are matrices, then FreeMat will attempt to expand the vector arguments to the same size, and then generate multiple plots, one for each column of the matrices. The linespec is optional, see `plot` for details. You can specify `properties` for the generated line plots. You can also specify a handle as an axes to target

      plot3(handle,...)

# Example

Here is a simple example of a 3D helix.

    --> t = linspace(0,5*pi,200);
    --> x = cos(t); y = sin(t); z = t;
    --> plot3(x,y,z);
    --> view(3);
