%% Create an edge between two points, or from a line.
%%
%%   The internal format for edge representation is given by coordinates of
%%   two points : [x1 y1 x2 y2].
%%   This function can serve as a line to edge converter.
%%
%%
%%   Returns the edge between the two given points @var{p1} and @var{p2}.
%%   
%%   Returns the edge going through point (@var{x0}, @var{y0}) and with direction
%%   vector (@var{dx},@var{dy}).
%%
%%   When @var{param} is an array of 4 values, creates the edge going through the
%%   point (param(1) param(2)), and with direction vector given by
%%   (param(3) param(4)).
%%   
%% When @var{line} is given, creates the edge contained in @var{line}, with same
%% direction and start point, but with length given by @var{d}.
%%
%%
%%   Note: in all cases, parameters can be vertical arrays of the same
%%   dimension. The result is then an array of edges, of dimensions [N*4].
