function h=hatchedcontours(C,varargin)
%HATCHEDCONTOURS Plot contours with hatched style
%   H=hatchedcontours(C,VARARGIN) plots the 
%   contours specified in C with a hatched line style appropriate for 
%   constriant diagrams.  The remaining parmeters describe the hatch 
%   style as described in HATCHEDCONTOURS.
%
%   The graphics handles for all of the curves are returned in H.
