## Query or set the limits of the z-axis for the current plot.
##
## Called without arguments @code{zlim} returns the z-axis limits of the
## current plot.
##
## With the input query @qcode{"mode"}, return the current
## z-limit calculation mode which is either @qcode{"auto"} or @qcode{"manual"}.
##
## If passed a 2-element vector [@var{z_lo} @var{z_hi}], the limits of the
## x-axis are set to these values and the mode is set to @qcode{"manual"}.
## The special values -Inf and Inf can be used to indicate that either
## the lower axis limit or upper axis limit should be automatically calculated.
##
## The current plotting mode can be changed by using either @qcode{"auto"}
## or @qcode{"manual"} as the argument.
##
## If the first argument @var{hax} is an axes handle, then operate on
## this axis rather than the current axes returned by @code{gca}.
##
## Programming Note: The @code{zlim} function operates by modifying the
## @qcode{"zlim"} and @qcode{"zlimmode"} properties of an axes object.  These
## properties can be be directly inspected and altered with
## @code{get}/@code{set}.
