## Plot a surface graphic object given matrices @var{x}, and @var{y} from
## @code{meshgrid} and a matrix @var{z} corresponding to the @var{x} and
## @var{y} coordinates of the surface.  If @var{x} and @var{y} are vectors,
## then a typical vertex is (@var{x}(j), @var{y}(i), @var{z}(i,j)).  Thus,
## columns of @var{z} correspond to different @var{x} values and rows of
## @var{z} correspond to different @var{y} values.  If @var{x} and @var{y}
## are missing, they are constructed from size of the matrix @var{z}.
##
## Any additional properties passed are assigned to the surface.
