## Add labels to the contours of a contour plot.  The contour plot is specified
## by the contour matrix @var{c} and optionally the contourgroup object @var{h}
## that are returned by @code{contour}, @code{contourf} and @code{contour3}.
## The contour labels are rotated and placed in the contour itself.
##
## By default, all contours are labeled.  However, the contours to label can be
## specified by the vector @var{v}.  If the "manual" argument is given then
## the contours to label can be selected with the mouse.
##
## Additional property/value pairs that are valid properties of text objects
## can be given and are passed to the underlying text objects.  Additionally,
## the property "LabelSpacing" is available allowing the spacing between labels
## on a contour (in points) to be specified.  The default is 144 points, or 2
## inches.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a vector of graphics handles to
## the text objects representing each label.  
## The "userdata" property of the text objects contains the numerical value of
## the contour label.
##
## An example of the use of @code{clabel} is
##
## @example
## @group
## [c, h] = contour (peaks(), -4 : 6);
## clabel (c, h, -4 : 2 : 6, 'fontsize', 12);
## @end group
