isBelowPlane(point, varargin)

function below = isBelowPlane(point, varargin)
%ISBELOWPLANE Test whether a point is below or above a plane
%
%   BELOW = isBelowPlane(POINT, PLANE)
%   where POINT is given as coordinate row vector [XP YP ZP], and PLANE is
%   given as a row containing initial point and 2 direction vectors, 
%   return TRUE if POINT lie below PLANE.
%
%   Example
%   isBelowPlane([1 1 1], createPlane([1 2 3], [1 1 1]))
%   ans =
%       1
%   isBelowPlane([3 3 3], createPlane([1 2 3], [1 1 1]))
%   ans =
%       0
