%
% COLORMESH3D draw FEM mesh in 3-d given, colored by a scalar field.
%  
%     INPUT : fem_grid_struct (from LOADGRID, see FEM_GRID_STRUCT)
%             Q         - scalar to color with (optional)
%             "nofill"  - flag (optional)
%
%             With no scalar specified to contour, COLORMESH2D
%             defaults to the bathymetry fem_grid_struct.z
%
%   Output : hp - vector of handles, one for each element patch drawn.
%
%            COLORMESH3D colors the mesh using the scalar Q.  If Q
%            is omitted from the argument list, COLORMESH3D uses
%            the bathymetry z to color the surface.  
%
%            The default viewpoint is Azimuth = -27. degrees, 
%            Elevation = 30 degrees.  See the MATLAB VIEW command for 
%            more information.
%
%     NOTE : This is one of the few (2 or 3) OPNML MATLAB functions 
%            that deletes existing patch objects in the current axes 
%            before rendering the surface.  This is to avoid having 
%            an unmanageable number of patch objects on the screen. 
%
%  Call as : >> hp=colormesh3d(fem_grid_struct,Q,'nofill')
