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
       contour 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
              specify more than one option just add the options, e.g.
              DRAW_LINEXY + MAG_COLOR opt=DRAW_LINEX: Lines are drawn showing
              z as a function 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.
