## Plot an angular histogram.
##
## With one vector argument, @var{th}, plot the histogram with 20 angular bins.
## If @var{th} is a matrix then each column of @var{th} produces a separate
## histogram.
##
## If @var{nbins} is given and is a scalar, then the histogram is produced with
## @var{nbin} bins.  If @var{bins} is a vector, then the center of each bin is
## defined by the values of @var{bins} and the number of bins is
## given by the number of elements in @var{bins}.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axis,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a vector of graphics handles to the
## line objects representing each histogram.
##
## If two output arguments are requested then no plot is made and 
## the polar vectors necessary to plot the histogram are returned instead.
##
## @example
## @group
## [th, r] = rose ([2*randn(1e5,1), pi + 2*randn(1e5,1)]);
## polar (th, r);
