## Query or set the viewpoint for the current axes.
##
## The parameters @var{azimuth} and @var{elevation} can be given as two
## arguments or as 2-element vector.  The viewpoint can also be specified with
## Cartesian coordinates @var{x}, @var{y}, and @var{z}.
##
## The call @code{view (2)} sets the viewpoint to @w{@var{azimuth} = 0}
## and @w{@var{elevation} = 90}, which is the default for 2-D graphs.
##
## The call @code{view (3)} sets the viewpoint to @w{@var{azimuth} = -37.5}
## and @w{@var{elevation} = 30}, which is the default for 3-D graphs.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axis rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## If no inputs are given, return the current @var{azimuth} and @var{elevation}.
