function qdplot(u,scale)
%QDPLOT Quadrilateral displacement plot for square model problem.
%   QDPLOT(U) plots the deformed mesh for the displacement field in U.
%   U should be a vector of length 2*(N+1)^2, where N+1 is the number of
%   node points along a side of the square. The field is scaled to make
%   the largest displacement 10% of the size of the square.
%
%   QDPLOT(U,SCALE) turns off the automatic scaling and multiplies all
%   displacements by SCALE.
%
%   Example:
%      [x,y]=ndgrid(0:0.05:1,0:0.05:1);
%      U=[y(:).^2;sin(2*pi*x(:))];
%      qdplot(U)
