function edge = createEdge(varargin)
%CREATEEDGE Create an edge between two points, or from a line.
%
%   The internal format for edge representation is given by coordinates of
%   two points : [x1 y1 x2 y2].
%   This function can serve as a line to edge converter.
%
%
%   E = createEdge(P1, P2);
%   Returns the edge between the two given points P1 and P2.
%   
%   E = createEdge(x0, y0, dx, dy);
%   Returns the edge going through point (x0, y0) and with direction
%   vector (dx,dy).
%
%   E = createEdge(param);
%   where param is an array of 4 values, creates the edge going through the
%   point (param(1) param(2)), and with direction vector given by
%   (param(3) param(4)).
%   
%   E = createEdge(LINE, D);
%   create the edge contained in LINE, with same direction and start point,
%   but with length given by D.
%
%
%   Note: in all cases, parameters can be vertical arrays of the same
%   dimension. The result is then an array of edges, of dimensions N-by-4.
