%INTERSECTLINEMESH3D Intersection points of a 3D line with a mesh.
%
%   INTERS = intersectLineMesh3d(LINE, VERTICES, FACES)
%   Compute the intersection points between a 3D line and a 3D mesh defined
%   by vertices and faces. The mesh data is provided as a pair of arrays,
%   with VERTICES being a NV-by-3 array of vertex coordinates, and FACES
%   being a NF-by-3 or NF-by-4 array of face vertex indices.
%   The LINE data correspond to a 1-by-6 row vector concatenating the line
%   origin and direction. LINE can also be a NL-by-6 array representing a
%   collection of lines with various origins and directions.
%
%   INTERS = intersectLineMesh3d(LINE, MESH)
%   Provides the mesh data as a struct with the fields 'vertices' and
%   'faces'.
%
%   [INTERS, POS, IFACES] = intersectLineMesh3d(...)
%   Also returns the position of each intersection point on the input line,
%   and the index of the intersected faces.
%   If POS > 0, the point is also on the ray corresponding to the line. 
%   
%   [INTERS, POS, IFACES, ILINES] = intersectLineMesh3d(...)
%   Also returns the index of the line each intersection point belong to.
%
%   Example
%     [V, F] = createCube;
%     line = [.2 .3 .4 1 0 0];
%     pts = intersectLineMesh3d(line, V, F)
%     pts =
%         1.0000    0.3000    0.4000
%              0    0.3000    0.4000
