func plwf (z,y,x, fill=,shade=,edges=,ecolor=,ewidth=,cull=,scale=,cmax=)
/* DOCUMENT plwf, z
         or plwf, z, y,x


     plots a 3-D wire frame of the given Z array, which must have the
     same dimensions as the mesh (X, Y).  If X and Y are not given, they

     default to the first and second indices of Z, respectively.
     The drawing order of the zones is determined by a simple "painter's
     algorithm", which works fairly well if the mesh is reasonably near
     rectilinear, but can fail even then if the viewpoint is chosen to
     produce extreme fisheye perspective effects.  Look at the resulting

     plot carefully to be sure the algorithm has correctly rendered the
     model in each case.


   KEYWORDS: fill   -- optional colors to use (default is to make zones

                       have background color), same dimension options as

                       for z argument to plf function
	     shade  -- set non-zero to compute shading from current
	               3D lighting sources

             edges  -- default is 1 (draw edges), but if you provide fill

                       colors, you may set to 0 to supress the edges

             ecolor, ewidth  -- color and width of edges
	     cull   -- default is 1 (cull back surfaces), but if you want
	               to see the "underside" of the model, set to 0
	     scale  -- by default, Z is scaled to "reasonable" maximum
	               and minimum values related to the scale of (X,Y).
		       This keyword alters the default scaling factor, in
		       the sense that scale=2.0 will produce twice the
		       Z-relief of the default scale=1.0.

	     cmax   -- the ambient= keyword in light3 can be used to
	               control how dark the darkest surface is; use this
		       to control how light the lightest surface is

		       the lightwf routine can change this parameter
		       interactively
