vb_util_distance_of_points

PURPOSE ^

return distance of point set

SYNOPSIS ^

function dist = vb_util_distance_of_points(points, mode, center)

DESCRIPTION ^

 return distance of point set
 [usage]
   dist = vb_util_distance_of_points(points, mode, center)
 [input]
   points : <required> [NP x 3] 3-D point set (e.g. Vhead)
     mode : <optional> calculation mode (1 or 2 or 3) [1]
          :  =1 : <default> calculate average
          :  =2 : minimum value of all distances
          :  =3 : maximum value of all distances
          :  =other : <warning> calculate average
   center : <optional> coordinates of center point [0 0 0]
 [output]
     dist : calculated distance
