function edge = createEdge3d(varargin)
%CREATEEDGE3D Create an edge between two 3D points, or from a 3D line.
%
%   E = createEdge3d(P1, P2)
%   Creates the 3D edge joining the two points P1 and P2.
%
%   E = createEdge3d(LIN)
%   Creates the 3D edge with same origin and same direction vector as the
%   3D line LIN.
%
%   Example
%     p1 = [1 1 1];
%     p2 = [3 4 5];
%     edge = createEdge3d(p1, p2);
%     edgeLength3d(edge)
