function feather(x,y,s)
%FEATHER Feather plot.
%	FEATHER(Z) draws a graph that displays the angle and magnitude
%	of the complex elements of Z as arrows emanating from equally
%	spaced points along a horizontal axis.
%
%	FEATHER(X,Y) is equivalent to FEATHER(X+i*Y).  It displays the
%	feather plot for the angles and magnitudes of the elements of
%	matrices X and Y.
%
%	FEATHER(Z,'S') and FEATHER(X,Y,'S') use line style 'S' where
%	'S' is any legal linetype as described under the PLOT command.
%
%	See also COMPASS, ROSE, QUIVER.
