## Scatter plot of the columns of one matrix against another.
##
## Given the arguments @var{x} and @var{y}, that have a matching number of
## rows, @code{plotmatrix} plots a set of axes corresponding to
##
## @example
## plot (@var{x}(:, i), @var{y}(:, j))
## @end example
##
## Given a single argument @var{x} this is equivalent to
##
## @example
## plotmatrix (@var{x}, @var{x})
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## except that the diagonal of the set of axes will be replaced with the
## histogram @code{hist (@var{x}(:, i))}.
##
## The marker to use can be changed with the @var{style} argument, that is a
## string defining a marker in the same manner as the @code{plot} command.
##
## 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} provides handles to the individual
## graphics objects in the scatter plots, whereas @var{ax} returns the
## handles to the scatter plot axis objects.  @var{bigax} is a hidden
## axis object that surrounds the other axes, such that the commands
## @code{xlabel}, @code{title}, etc., will be associated with this hidden
## axis.  Finally, @var{p} returns the graphics objects associated with
## the histogram and @var{pax} the corresponding axes objects.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## plotmatrix (randn (100, 3), "g+")
## @end example
