## Plot the @code{(@var{u}, @var{v})} components of a vector field emanating
## from equidistant points on the x-axis.
##
## If a single complex argument @var{z} is given, then
## @code{@var{u} = real (@var{z})} and @code{@var{v} = imag (@var{z})}.
##
## The style to use for the plot can be defined with a line style @var{style}
## of the same format as the @code{plot} command.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then plot into this axes,
## rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## The optional return value @var{h} is a vector of graphics handles to the
## line objects representing the drawn vectors.
