edgeLength

PURPOSE ^

EDGELENGTH Return length of an edge.

SYNOPSIS ^

function len = edgeLength(varargin)

DESCRIPTION ^

EDGELENGTH Return length of an edge.

   L = edgeLength(EDGE);  
   Returns the length of an edge, with parametric representation:
   [x1 y1 x2 y2].

   The function also works for several edges, in this case input is a
   N-by-4 array, containing parametric representation of each edge, and
   output is a N-by-1 array containing length of each edge.

   edges2d, edgeAngle
