function hv = zcat(z, arg2, arg3)
%ZCAT   Plot vectors in z-plane end-to-end
%
% usage:    hv = zcat(Z, <LTYPE>, <SCALE>)
%
%     Z = vector of complex numbers; each complex # is displayed
%           as a vector, with the arrows placed end-to-end
%    LTYPE: string containing any valid line type (see PLOT)            
%    SCALE: varies size of arrowhead (default = 1.0)
%           (order of LTYPE and SCALE args doesn't matter)
%       hv: output handle from graphics of vector plot
