%DRAWELEMS4 draw FEM element configuration 
%   DRAWELEMS4 a routine to draw element boundries given an element,
%   node, and (optionally) bathymetry lists.  If no z-
%   coordinates are given, the mesh is drawn in 2-D.
%   Otherwise, the mesh is drawn in 3-D, with the view
%   perspective set to azimuth=-27 deg and 
%   elevation=30 deg.  See the MATLAB VIEW command for 
%   more on view points.
%
%     Input :
%             elems - a 3- or 4-column matrix giving the nodes comprising 
%                     each element.  If there are 3 columns, each line 
%                     should be "n1 n2 n3", a triangular element
%                     description.  If there are 4 columns, each line
%                     should be "n1 n2 n3 n4", a quadrilateral
%                     element description.
%             x     - an x-coord list of nodes;
%             y     - a  y-coord list of nodes; 
%             z     - a  z-coord list of nodes (optional);
%            
%             x,y,z must be 1-D vectors.
%           
%   Output :  DRAWELEMS returns the handle of the element object.
%
%             NOTES: 1) Element line-segments are drawn in solid white.
%                       This will be an optional argument in the future.
%                    2) Existing plots are added to.
%                    3) Axis limits are NOT set.  'axis('equal')' may
%                       need to be issued by the user, if it has not already.
