## Plot contents of a shapefile, a map-/geostruct or a struct made by
## shaperead.m.
##
## @var{shp} can be a shapefile (will be read and plotted), a struct made by 
## shaperead, or a mapstruct or geostruct, possibly made by some other
## function.  shapeplot.m will try to determine the type.  Points, MultiPoints,
## Polylines, Polygons and MultiPatch shape features can be plotted.
##
## The optional argument @var{clr} can be a predefined color name ('b', 'green',
## etc.) or an RGB triplet.  The default is [0.6, 0.6, 0.6] which produces a
## grey plot.  Polygons and MultiPatches can also be plotted as solid patches;
## then @var{clr} needs to have a second row indicating the fill color.  Octave
## does not support transparent fills yet.  Single-character color codes can be
## combined with linestyle indicators ":", "-", "--", "-.", ".-" and/or marker
## style indicators
## "*", ".", "+", "@@", "v", "^", ">", "<", "d", "h", "o", "p", "s"
## to modify the linestyle for polylines.
##
## Other graphics properties for drawing can be supplied either instead of,
## or after the color argument and will be conveyed as-is to the actual drawing
## routines.  Depending on shapetype, the following proqperties are accepted:
##
## @itemize
## @item All shape types: 
## Visible, LineStyle, LineWidth, Marker, MarkerEdgeColor, MarkerFaceColor,
## MarkerSize
##
## @item Point, MultiPoints, Line, Polyline: 
## Color
##
## @item Polygon, MultiPatch: 
## FaceColor, EdgeColor
## @end itemize
##
## Polygons with holes can be properly plotted provided the holes are separate
## shape feature parts comprising counterclockwise polylines; the first partial
## feature must be the clockwise outer polygon.  The Octave-Forge geometry
## package is required to assess whether multipart polygons have holes and to
## properly draw them.  shapedraw.m will search for the geometry package the
## first time it is instructed to plot filled polygons.  To initiate a new
## search later on (e.g., after the geometry package has been loaded), simply
## invoke shapedraw without any arguments.
##
## Optional output argument @var{h} is the figure handle of the plot.

function [h] = shapedraw (shpf, varargin)

  ## Keep track of OF geometry package presence
  persistent ofgeom = [];

  ## What this function does in what order:
  ## 1. Input checks & analysis.
  ##    Get a struct & assess its type; or read data from .shp file set.
  ## 2. Morph XY[Z} in a suitable form for faster plotting (avoid for loops).
  ##    On the way, explore multipart polygons and if found, get separators.
  ## 3. Process input args; first of all marker/line & fill colors & style.
  ##    A bit involved as there are many interfering options.
  ## 4. Find out if plot is on top of existing figure or must be a new figure.
  ## 5. Depending on geometry type, draw the shape features.
  ##    For Polygons, explore and process "holes".
  ##    FIXME Holes must be implemented for Multipatch as well - pending
