MATLAB: How to make a contour map from a scatter plot

Question

I have a set of x-y coordinates of points (around 100,000 of them) and I want to make a contour map of their concentration in the x-y plane. In other words, closer contours in areas where there are a larger number of points. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I might go about this?
