%   CIRC = circumCircle(TRI)
%   CIRC = circumCircle(P1, P2, P3)
%   Compute circumcircle of a triangle given by 3 points.

%   Example
%     T = [10 20; 70 20; 30 70];
%     C = circumCircle(T);
%     figure; drawPolygon(T, 'linewidth', 2);
%     hold on; drawCircle(C);
%     axis equal; axis([0 100 0 100]);
