function nout=isonormals(varargin)
%ISONORMALS  Isosurface normals.
%   N = ISONORMALS(X,Y,Z,V,VERTICES) computes the normals of isosurface
%   vertices VERTICES by using the gradient of the data V. Arrays X, Y and Z
%   specify the points at which the data V is given. The normals are
%   returned in N. By default, the normals point in the direction of
%   smaller data values.
%   
%   N = ISONORMALS(V,VERTICES) assumes [X Y Z] = meshgrid(1:N, 1:M, 1:P)
%       where [M,N,P]=SIZE(V).
%   
%   N = ISONORMALS(V,P) or N = ISONORMALS(X,Y,Z,V,P) uses the vertices 
%       from patch P.
%   
%   N = ISONORMALS(..., 'negate') negates the computed normals.
%   
%   ISONORMALS(V,P) or ISONORMALS(X,Y,Z,V,P) sets the 'VertexNormals'
%   property of the patch specified in P with the computed normals.
%
%   Example:
%      data = cat(3, [0 .2 0; 0 .3 0; 0 0 0], ...
%                    [.1 .2 0; 0 1 0; .2 .7 0],...
%                    [0 .4 .2; .2 .4 0;.1 .1 0]);
%      data = interp3(data,3, 'cubic');
%      subplot(1,2,1)
%      p = patch(isosurface(data, .5), 'FaceColor', 'red', 'EdgeColor', 'none');
%      view(3); daspect([1 1 1]);axis tight
%      camlight;  camlight(-80,-10); lighting p; 
%      title('Triangle Normals')
%      subplot(1,2,2)
%      p = patch(isosurface(data, .5), 'FaceColor', 'red', 'EdgeColor', 'none');
%      isonormals(data,p)
%      view(3); daspect([1 1 1]); axis tight
