+## @deftypefn {Function File} {} plot3 (@var{args})
+## Produce three-dimensional plots. Many different combinations of
+## arguments are possible. The simplest form is
+##
+## @example
+## plot3 (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z})
+## @end example
+##
+## @noindent
+## in which the arguments are taken to be the vertices of the points to
+## be plotted in three dimensions. If all arguments are vectors of the
+## same length, then a single continuous line is drawn. If all arguments
+## are matrices, then each column of the matrices is treated as a
+## separate line. No attempt is made to transpose the arguments to make
+## the number of rows match.
+##
+## If only two arguments are given, as
+##
+## @example
+## plot3 (@var{x}, @var{c})
+## @end example
+##
+## @noindent
+## the real and imaginary parts of the second argument are used
+## as the @var{y} and @var{z} coordinates, respectively.
+##
+## If only one argument is given, as
+##
+## @example
+## plot3 (@var{c})
+## @end example
+##
+## @noindent
+## the real and imaginary parts of the argument are used as the @var{y}
+## and @var{z} values, and they are plotted versus their index.
+##
+## Arguments may also be given in groups of three as
+##
+## @example
+## plot3 (@var{x1}, @var{y1}, @var{z1}, @var{x2}, @var{y2}, @var{z2}, @dots{})
+## @end example
+##
+## @noindent
+## in which each set of three arguments is treated as a separate line or
+## set of lines in three dimensions.
+##
+## To plot multiple one- or two-argument groups, separate each group
+## with an empty format string, as
+##
+## @example
+## plot3 (@var{x1}, @var{c1}, "", @var{c2}, "", @dots{})
+## @end example
+##
+## An example of the use of @code{plot3} is
+##
+## @example
+## @group
+## z = [0:0.05:5];
+## plot3 (cos (2*pi*z), sin (2*pi*z), z, ";helix;");
+## plot3 (z, exp (2i*pi*z), ";complex sinusoid;");
+## @end group
+## @end example
+## @seealso{plot, xlabel, ylabel, zlabel, title, print}
+## @end deftypefn
