## Called without a return argument, @code{peaks} plots the surface of the 
## above function using @code{mesh}. If @var{n} is a scalar, the @code{peaks}
## returns the values of the above function on a @var{n}-by-@var{n} mesh over
## the range @code{[-3,3]}. The default value for @var{n} is 49.
##
## If @var{n} is a vector, then it represents the @var{x} and @var{y} values
## of the grid on which to calculate the above function. The @var{x} and 
## @var{y} values can be specified separately.
