##
## Construct a piecewise polynomial (pp) structure from sample points
## @var{breaks} and coefficients @var{coefs}.
##
## @var{breaks} must be a vector of strictly increasing values.  The number of
## intervals is given by @code{@var{ni} = length (@var{breaks}) - 1}.
##
## When @var{m} is the polynomial order @var{coefs} must be of size:
## @w{@var{ni}-by-(@var{m} + 1)}.
##
## The i-th row of @var{coefs}, @code{@var{coefs}(@var{i},:)}, contains the
## coefficients for the polynomial over the @var{i}-th interval, ordered from
## highest (@var{m}) to lowest (@var{0}) degree.
##
## @var{coefs} may also be a multi-dimensional array, specifying a
## vector-valued or array-valued polynomial.  In that case the polynomial
## order @var{m} is defined by the length of the last dimension of @var{coefs}.
## The size of first dimension(s) are given by the scalar or vector @var{d}.
## If @var{d} is not given it is set to @code{1}.  In this case
## @code{@var{p}(@var{r}, @var{i}, :)} contains the coefficients for the
## @var{r}-th polynomial defined on interval @var{i}.  In any case @var{coefs}
## is reshaped to a 2-D matrix of size @code{[@var{ni}*prod(@var{d}) @var{m}]}.
##
## Programming Note: @code{ppval} evaluates polynomials at
## @code{@var{xi} - @var{breaks}(i)}, i.e., it subtracts the lower endpoint of
## the current interval from @var{xi}.  This must be taken into account when
## creating piecewise polynomials objects with @code{mkpp}.
