\title{
  Contour and Mesh Plotter
}
\description{
  Easy-to-use contour and 3-D mesh plotter.
}
\usage{
ezcontour(f, xlim = c(-pi,pi), ylim = c(-pi,pi), 
             n = 60, filled = FALSE, col = NULL)

ezmesh(f, xlim = c(-pi,pi), ylim = c(-pi,pi), 
          n = 60, col = "lightgray", ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{f}{2-D function to be plotted, must accept \code{(x,y)} as a vector.}
  \item{xlim, ylim}{defines x- and y-ranges as intervals.}
  \item{n}{number of grid points in each direction.}
  \item{col}{colour of isolines lines, resp. the surface color.}
  \item{filled}{logical; shall the contour plot be }
  \item{...}{parameters to be passed to the \code{persp} function.}
}
\details{
  \code{ezcontour} generates a contour plot of the function \code{f} using 
  \code{contour} (and \code{image} if \code{filled=TRUE} is chosen).
  If \code{filled=TRUE} is chosen, \code{col} should be a color scheme,
  the default is \code{heat.colors(12)}.

  \code{ezmesh} generates a mesh/surface plot of the function \code{f} using 
  \code{persp}. The most important additional parameters to be passed in
  \code{...} are \code{} and \code{}.

  The function \code{f} needs not be vectorized in any form.
}
\value{
  Plots the function graph and invisibly returns \code{NULL}.
}
\note{
  Mimicks Matlab functions of the same names; Matlab's \code{ezcontourf} can 
  be generated with \code{filled=TRUE}.
