func demo2 (which, time_limit)
/* DOCUMENT demo2
     Exhibit quadrilateral mesh plots in 3 movies of a drumhead.
     The drumhead is initially stationary, but has a bump near one
     edge.  Yorick is solving a 2D wave equation to compute the
     evolution of this bump.

     The first movie is a filled mesh plot with color "proportional"
     to the height of the surface of the drum.  A few well chosen
     contour levels (here 3) add a lot to a filled mesh plot.

     The second movie is a "3D" perspective plot of the height of the
     drumhead.  In this movie, the mesh lines are drawn, which is
     slightly confusing since the cells are not all the same shape.

     The second movie is a "3D" shaded plot of the height of the
     drumhead.  Yorick computes surface shading based on the angle
     of each cell from a light source.

     As you watch this, you might reflect on the two dimensionality
     of your retina.  What Yorick lacks by way of 3D graphics is
     really just fancy hidden surface algorithms; the simple
     painter's algorithm used here and in plwf.i is easy to
     implement.

     There are two optional arguments to demo2: the first is the
     number fo the movie (1, 2, or 3) you want to watch; the second
     is a time limit on the duration of each movie in seconds (default
     is 60 seconds each).
