planePoint(plane, point)
function coord = planePoint(plane, point)
%PLANEPOINT Compute 3D position of a point in a plane
%
%   POINT = planePoint(PLANE, POS)
%   PLANE is a 9 element row vector [x0 y0 z0 dx1 dy1 dz1 dx2 dy2 dz2]
%   POS is the coordinate of a point in the plane basis,
%   POINT is the 3D coordinate in global basis.
%
%   Example
%   planePoint
