%DRAWEDGE3D Draw 3D edge in the current axes.
%
%   drawEdge3d(EDGE) draws the edge EDGE on the current axis. 
%   EDGE has the form: [x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2]. No clipping is performed.
%   
%   drawEdge3d(AX,...) plots into AX instead of GCA.
%
%   H = drawEdge3d(...) returns a handle H to the line object.
%
%   Example
%     figure; axis equal; view(3)
%     p1 = [10 20 80];
%     p2 = [80 10 20];
%     p3 = [20 50 10];
%     drawEdge3d(gca, [p1;p2],[p2;p3],'b');
%     drawEdge3d([p1;p3],'k');
%     pause(1)
%     drawEdge3d(gca, [p1 p2; p2 p3],'g');
%     drawEdge3d(p1(1), p1(2), p1(3),p3(1), p3(2), p3(3),'Color','r','Marker','x');
