function PlotFieldonMesh(coordinates,nodes,component)
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Purpose:
%         To plot the profile of a component on mesh
% Synopsis :
%           ProfileonMesh(coordinates,nodes,component)
% Variable Description:
%           coordinates - The nodal coordinates of the mesh
%           -----> coordinates = [X Y ] 
%           nodes - The nodal connectivity of the elements
%           -----> nodes = [node1 node2......]      
%           component - The components whose profile to be plotted
%           -----> components = a column vector in the order of node
%                               numbers
