drawFaceNormals(varargin)

function varargout = drawFaceNormals(varargin)
%DRAWFACENORMALS Draw normal vector of each face in a mesh
%
%   drawFaceNormals(V, E, F)
%   Compute and draw the face normals of the mesh defined by vertices V,
%   edges E and faces F. See meshes3d for format of each argument.
%
%   H = drawFaceNormals(...)
%   Return handle array to the created objects.
%
%   Example
%   % draw face normals of a cube
%     drawMesh(v, f)
%     axis([-1 2 -1 2 -1 2]);
%     hold on
%     drawFaceNormals(v, e, f)
