isPointInTriangle(point, p1, p2, p3)

function b = isPointInTriangle(point, p1, p2, p3)
%ISPOINTINTRIANGLE Test if a point is located inside a triangle
%
%   B = isPointInTriangle(POINT, V1, V2, V3)
%   POINT is a 1-by-2 row vector containing coordinates of the test point,
%   V1, V2 and V3 are 1-by-2 row vectors containing coordinates of triangle
%   vertices. The function returns 1 is the point is inside or on the
%   boundary of the triangle, and 0 otherwise.
%
%   B = isPointInTriangle(POINT, VERTICES)
%   Specifiy the coordinates of vertices as a 3-by-2 array.
%
%   If POINT contains more than one row, the result B has as many rows as
%   the input POINT.
%
%
%   Example
%     % vertices of the triangle
%     p1 = [0 0];
%     p2 = [10 0];
%     p3 = [5 10];
%     tri = [p1;p2;p3];
%     % check if points are inside
%     isPointInTriangle([0 0], tri)
%     ans =
%         1
%     isPointInTriangle([5 5], tri)
%     ans =
%         1
%     isPointInTriangle([10 5], tri)
%     ans =
%         0
%     % check for an array of points
%     isPointInTriangle([0 0;1 0;0 1], tri)
%     ans =
%         1
%         1
%         0
