## Create a 2-D contour plot.
##
## Plot level curves (contour lines) of the matrix @var{z}, using the
## contour matrix @var{c} computed by @code{contourc} from the same
## arguments; see the latter for their interpretation.
##
## The appearance of contour lines can be defined with a line style @var{style}
## in the same manner as @code{plot}.  Only line style and color are used;
## Any markers defined by @var{style} are ignored.
##
## 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 output @var{c} are the contour levels in @code{contourc} format.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to the hggroup
## comprising the contour lines.
##
## Example:
##
## @example
## @group
## x = 0:2;
## y = x;
## z = x' * y;
## contour (x, y, z, 2:3)
## @end group
## @end example
