POLYNOMIALCURVENORMAL Compute the normal of a polynomial curve. N = polynomialCurveNormal(T, XCOEF, YCOEF) XCOEF and YCOEF are row vectors of coefficients, in the form: [a0 a1 a2 ... an] T is a 1x2 row vector, containing the bounds of the parametrization variable: T = [T0 T1], with T taking all values between T0 and T1. T can also be a larger vector, in this case only bounds are kept. N is a 1x2 row vector, containing direction of curve normal in T. If T is column vector, the result is a matrix with 2 columns containing normal vector for each position. The normal is oriented such that oriented angle from derivative vector to normal vector equals PI/2. The normal points to the 'left' when travelling along the curve.
