## Plots the contour lines of a function.  @var{f} is a string, inline function
## or function handle with two arguments defining the function.  By default the
## plot is over the domain @code{-2*pi < @var{x} < 2*pi} and @code{-2*pi < 
## @var{y} < 2*pi} with 60 points in each dimension. 
##
## If @var{dom} is a two element vector, it represents the minimum and maximum
## value of both @var{x} and @var{y}.  If @var{dom} is a four element vector,
## then the minimum and maximum value of @var{x} and @var{y} are specify
## separately.
##
## @var{n} is a scalar defining the number of points to use in each dimension.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} provides a list of handles to the 
## the parts of the vector field (body, arrow and marker).
##
## @example
## @group
## f = @@(x,y) sqrt(abs(x .* y)) ./ (1 + x.^2 + y.^2);
## ezcontour (f, [-3, 3]);
