NAME
       plmeshc - Magnitude colored plot surface mesh with contour.

SYNOPSIS
       plmeshc(x, y, z, nx, ny, opt, clevel, nlevel)

DESCRIPTION
       Identical  to  plmesh  but with extra functionalities: the surface mesh
       can be colored accordingly to the current z value being plotted, a con-
       tour plot can be drawn at the base XY plane, and a curtain can be drawn
       between the plotted function border and the base XY plane.

       Redacted form: plmeshc(x, y, z, opt, clevel)

       This function is used in example 11.

ARGUMENTS
       x (PLFLT *, input)
              Pointer to set of x coordinate values at which the  function  is
              evaluated.

       y (PLFLT *, input)
              Pointer  to  set of y coordinate values at which the function is
              evaluated.

       z (PLFLT **, input)
              Pointer to a vectored two-dimensional array with set of function
              values.

       nx (PLINT, input)
              Number of x values at which function is evaluated.

       ny (PLINT, input)
              Number of y values at which function is evaluated.

       opt (PLINT, input)
              Determines the way in which the surface is represented. To spec-
              ify more than one option just add the options, e.g.  DRAW_LINEXY
              + MAG_COLOR opt=DRAW_LINEX: Lines are drawn showing z as a func-
              tion of x for each value of  y[j].   opt=DRAW_LINEY:  Lines  are
              drawn  showing  z  as  a  function  of y for each value of x[i].
              opt=DRAW_LINEXY: Network of lines is drawn connecting points  at
              which function is defined.  opt=MAG_COLOR: Each line in the mesh
              is colored according to the z value being plotted. The color  is
              used from the current colormap 1.  opt=BASE_CONT: A contour plot
              is drawn at the  base  XY  plane  using  parameters  nlevel  and
              clevel.   opt=DRAW_SIDES:  draws  a  curtain between the base XY
              plane and the borders of the plotted function.


       clevel (PLFLT *, input)
              Pointer to the array that defines the contour level spacing.

       nlevel (PLINT, input)
              Number of elements in the clevel array.
