Plot3 Shaded Line

Like plot3, but will plot a real (round, flat, triangle, squared) thick shaded 3D line

Description

This function works like plot3, but will display a real 3D round (vessel like), flat, triangle or squared line. Which can be shaded, because the surface is a triangulated patch.

minimize_rot has a possible bug. At least in one occasion it resulted in the tube torquing at a point, resulting in a hole in the tube.

Line 247, instead of

    dist=(circm-circmo).^2;

you probably want

    dist=sqrt((circm-circmo).^2);

otherwise you sum quantities which are not the euclidean distances.
