+## Plot the @code{(@var{u}, @var{v}, @var{w})} components of a vector field in
+## an @code{(@var{x}, @var{y}), @var{z}} meshgrid. If the grid is uniform, you
+## can specify @var{x}, @var{y} @var{z} as vectors.
+##
+## If @var{x}, @var{y} and @var{z} are undefined they are assumed to be
+## @code{(1:@var{m}, 1:@var{n}, 1:@var{p})} where @code{[@var{m}, @var{n}] =
+## size(@var{u})} and @code{@var{p} = max (size (@var{w}))}.
+##
+## The variable @var{s} is a scalar defining a scaling factor to use for
+## the arrows of the field relative to the mesh spacing. A value of 0
+## disables all scaling. The default value is 1.
+##
+## The style to use for the plot can be defined with a line style @var{style}
+## in a similar manner to the line styles used with the @code{plot} command.
+## If a marker is specified then markers at the grid points of the vectors are
+## printed rather than arrows. If the argument 'filled' is given then the
+## markers as filled.
+##
+## The optional return value @var{h} is a graphics handle to a quiver object.
+## A quiver object regroups the components of the quiver plot (body, arrow,
+## and marker), and allows them to be changed together.
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## [x, y, z] = peaks (25);
+## surf (x, y, z);
+## hold on;
+## [u, v, w] = surfnorm (x, y, z / 10);
+## h = quiver3 (x, y, z, u, v, w);
+## set (h, "maxheadsize", 0.33);
