function varargout = principalAxesTransform(pts)
%PRINCIPALAXESTRANSFORM Align a set of points along its principal axes.
%
%   TRANSFO = principalAxesTransform(PTS)
%   Computes the affine transform that will transform the input array PTS
%   such that its principal axes become aligned with main axes.
%
%   [TRANSFO, PTS2] = principalAxesTransform(PTS)
%   Also returns the result of the transform applied to the points.
%
%   Example
%   principalAxesTransform
