function circle = createCircle(varargin)
%CREATECIRCLE Create a circle from 2 or 3 points.
%
%   C = createCircle(P1, P2, P3);
%   Creates the circle passing through the 3 given points. 
%   C is a 1*3 array of the form: [XC YC R].
%
%   C = createCircle(P1, P2);
%   Creates the circle whith center P1 and passing throuh the point P2.
%
%   Works also when input are point arrays the same size, in this case the
%   result has as many lines as the point arrays.
%
%   Example
%   % Draw a circle passing through 3 points.
%     p1 = [10 15];
%     p2 = [15 20];
%     p3 = [10 25];
%     circle = createCircle(p1, p2, p3);
%     figure; hold on; axis equal; axis([0 50 0 50]);
%     drawPoint([p1 ; p2; p3]);
%     drawCircle(circle);
