+## Plots in three-dimensions the curve defined parametrically. 
+## @var{fx}, @var{fy}, and @var{fz} are strings, inline functions
+## or function handles with one arguments defining the function. By 
+## default the plot is over the domain @code{-2*pi < @var{x} < 2*pi}  
+## with 60 points. 
+##
+## If @var{dom} is a two element vector, it represents the minimum and maximum
+## value of @var{t}. @var{n} is a scalar defining the number of points to use.
+##
+## The optional return value @var{h} provides a list of handles to the 
+## the parts of the vector field (body, arrow and marker).
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## fx = @@(t) cos (t);
+## fy = @@(t) sin (t);
+## fz = @@(t) t;
+## ezplot3 (fx, fy, fz, [0, 10*pi], 100);
