30 ## 30 ##
31 ## For a uniform colored patch, @var{c} can be given as an RGB vector, 31 ## If the vertices are matrices of size @nospell{MxN} then each polygon patch
32 ## scalar value referring to the current colormap, or string value (for 32 ## has M vertices and a total of N polygons will be created. If some polygons
33 ## example, "r" or "red"). 33 ## do not have M vertices use NaN to represent "no vertex". If the @var{z}
34 ## 34 ## input is present then 3-D patches will be created.
35 ## If passed a structure @var{fv} contain the fields "vertices", "faces" 35 ##
36 ## and optionally "facevertexcdata", create the patch based on these 36 ## The color argument @var{c} can take many forms. To create polygons
37 ## properties. 37 ## which all share a single color use a string value (e.g., "r" for
38 ## red), a scalar value which is scaled by @code{caxis} and indexed into the
39 ## current colormap, or a 3-element RGB vector with the precise TrueColor.
40 ##
41 ## If @var{c} is a vector of length N then the ith polygon will have a color
42 ## determined by scaling entry @var{c}(i) according to @code{caxis} and then
43 ## indexing into the current colormap. More complicated coloring situations
44 ## require directly manipulating patch property/value pairs.
45 ##
46 ## Instead of specifying polygons by matrices @var{x} and @var{y}, it is
47 ## possible to present a unique list of vertices and then a list of polygon
48 ## faces created from those vertices. In this case the "Vertices" matrix will
49 ## be an @nospell{Nx2} (2-D patch) or @nospell{Nx3} (3-D path). The
50 ## @nospell{MxN} "Faces" matrix describes M polygons having N vertices---each
51 ## row describes a single polygon and each column entry is an index into the
52 ## "Vertices" matrix to identify a vertex. The patch object can be created by
53 ## directly passing the property/value pairs "Vertices"/@var{verts},
54 ## "Faces"/@var{faces} as inputs.
55 ##
56 ## A third input form is to create a structure @var{fv} with the fields
57 ## "vertices", "faces", and optionally "facevertexcdata".
58 ##
59 ## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
60 ## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
