function nrbplot(nurbs,subd,p1,v1)

%
% Function Name:
%
% nrbplot - Plot a NURBS curve or surface.
%
% Calling Sequence:
%
% nrbplot(nrb,subd)
% nrbplot(nrb,subd,p,v)
%
% Parameters:
%
%
% nrb : NURBS curve or surface, see nrbmak.
%
% npnts : Number of evaluation points, for a surface a row vector
% with two elements for the number of points along the U and
% V directions respectively.
%
% [p,v] : property/value options
%
% Valid property/value pairs include:
%
% Property Value/{Default}
% -----------------------------------
% light {off} | true
% colormap {'copper'}
%
% Example:
%
% Plot the test surface with 20 points along the U direction
% and 30 along the V direction
%
% plot(nrbtestsrf, [20 30])
