## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{c}, @var{lev}] =} contourc (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{z}, @var{vn})
## Compute isolines (contour lines) of the matrix @var{z}.
## Parameters @var{x}, @var{y} and @var{vn} are optional.
##
## The return value @var{lev} is a vector of the contour levels.
## The return value @var{c} is a 2 by @var{n} matrix containing the
## contour lines in the following format
##
## @example
## @group
## @var{c} = [lev1, x1, x2, @dots{}, levn, x1, x2, ...
##      len1, y1, y2, @dots{}, lenn, y1, y2, @dots{}]
## @end group
## @end example
##
## @noindent
## in which contour line @var{n} has a level (height) of @var{levn} and
## length of @var{lenn}.
##
## If @var{x} and @var{y} are omitted they are taken as the row/column
## index of @var{z}.  @var{vn} is either a scalar denoting the number of lines
## to compute or a vector containing the values of the lines.  If only one
## value is wanted, set @code{@var{vn} = [val, val]};
## If @var{vn} is omitted it defaults to 10.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## x = 0:2;
## y = x;
## z = x' * y;
## contourc (x, y, z, 2:3)
##      @result{}   2.0000   2.0000   1.0000   3.0000   1.5000   2.0000
##      2.0000   1.0000   2.0000   2.0000   2.0000   1.5000
