function theResult = wiggley(x, y, z, varargin)

% wiggley -- Wiggle-plot with variation in x.
%  wiggley(x, y, z, ...) plots the rows of z(x, y)
%   as horizontal traces, with origins given by vector y.
%   The "line" handles are returned if requested.
%   Additional arguments are passed directly to "plot".
%   The rows of z should be roughly zero-mean, with
%   variances scaled according to the x intervals.
%  wiggles(z, ...) plots z with x and y corresponding
%   to the size of the z matrix.
%  wiggles('demo') demonstrates itself.
%  wiggles(m, n) demonstrates itself for a random z-array
%   of size [m n] (default is [25 50]).
