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.
