## Extract the components of a piecewise polynomial structure @var{pp}.
## These are as follows:
##
## @table @asis
## @item @var{x}
## Sample points.
##
## @item @var{p}
## Polynomial coefficients for points in sample interval.  @code{@var{p}
## (@var{i}, :)} contains the coefficients for the polynomial over
## interval @var{i} ordered from highest to lowest.  If @code{@var{d} >
## 1}, @code{@var{p} (@var{r}, @var{i}, :)} contains the coefficients for
## the r-th polynomial defined on interval @var{i}.
##
## @item @var{n}
## Number of polynomial pieces.
##
## @item @var{k}
## Order of the polynomial plus 1.
##
## @item @var{d}
## Number of polynomials defined for each interval.
