function par = parametrize(varargin)
%PARAMETRIZE Parametrization of a polyline, based on edges lengths.
%
%   PAR = parametrize(POLY);
%   Returns a parametrization of the curve defined by the serie of points,
%   based on euclidean distance between two consecutive points. 
%   POLY is a N-by-2 array, representing coordinates of vertices. The
%   result PAR is N-by-1, and contains the cumulative length of edges until
%   corresponding vertex.
%
%   PAR = parametrize(PX, PY);
%   is the same, but specify points coordinates in separate column vectors.
%
%   PAR = parametrize(..., 'normalize', 1);
%   PAR = parametrize(..., 'normalize', true);
%   Rescales the result such that the last element of PAR is 1.
% 
%   Example
%     % Parametrize a circle approximation
%     poly = circleToPolygon([0 0 1], 200);
%     p = parametrize(poly);
%     p(end)
%     ans = 
%         6.2829
