## @deftypefn {} {@var{stop_solve} =} odeplot (@var{t}, @var{y}, @var{flag})
##
## Open a new figure window and plot the solution of an ode problem at each
## time step during the integration.
##
## The types and values of the input parameters @var{t} and @var{y} depend on
## the input @var{flag} that is of type string.  Valid values of @var{flag}
## are:
##
## @table @option
## @item @qcode{"init"}
## The input @var{t} must be a column vector of length 2 with the first and
## last time step (@code{[@var{tfirst} @var{tlast}]}.  The input @var{y}
## contains the initial conditions for the ode problem (@var{y0}).
##
## @item @qcode{""}
## The input @var{t} must be a scalar double or vector specifying the time(s)
## for which the solution in input @var{y} was calculated.
##
## @item @qcode{"done"}
## The inputs should be empty, but are ignored if they are present.
## @end table
##
## @code{odeplot} always returns false, i.e., don't stop the ode solver.
##
## Example: solve an anonymous implementation of the
## @nospell{@qcode{"Van der Pol"}} equation and display the results while
## solving.
##
## @example
## @group
## fvdp = @@(t,y) [y(2); (1 - y(1)^2) * y(2) - y(1)];
##
## opt = odeset ("OutputFcn", @@odeplot, "RelTol", 1e-6);
## sol = ode45 (fvdp, [0 20], [2 0], opt);
## @end group
## @end example
##
## Background Information:
## This function is called by an ode solver function if it was specified in
## the @qcode{"OutputFcn"} property of an options structure created with
## @code{odeset}.  The ode solver will initially call the function with the
## syntax @code{odeplot ([@var{tfirst}, @var{tlast}], @var{y0}, "init")}.  The
## function initializes internal variables, creates a new figure window, and
## sets the x limits of the plot.  Subsequently, at each time step during the
## integration the ode solver calls @code{odeplot (@var{t}, @var{y}, [])}.
## At the end of the solution the ode solver calls
## @code{odeplot ([], [], "done")} so that odeplot can perform any clean-up
## actions required.
## @seealso{odeset, odeget, ode23, ode45}
## @end deftypefn

    ## y is the initial value vector for the ode solution
