## usage: [xs, ys] = stairs (x, y)
##
## Given two vectors of x-y data, stairs produces a `stairstep' plot.
##
## If only one argument is given, it is taken as a vector of y-values
## and the x coordiates are taken to be the indices of the elements.
##
## If two output arguments are specified, the data are generated but
## not plotted. For example,
##
## stairs (x, y);
##
## and
##
## [xs, ys] = stairs (x, y);
## plot (xs, ys);
##
## are equivalent.
