+% NRBMEASURE: Compute the distance between two given points along a NURBS curve.
+% 
+% Calling Sequence:
+% 
+%  [dist, ddistds, ddistde] = nrbmeasure (nrb)
+%  [dist, ddistds, ddistde] = nrbmeasure (nrb, s, e)
+%  [dist, ddistds, ddistde] = nrbmeasure (nrb, s, e, tol)
+% 
+% INPUT:
+% 
+%   nrb	: a NURBS curve, see nrbmak.
+%   s   : starting point in the parametric domain.
+%   e   : ending point in the parametric domain.
+%   tol : tolerance for numarical quadrature, to be used in quad.
+% 
+% OUTPUT:
+% 
+%   dist   : distance between the two points along the NURBS curve.
+%   ddistds: derivative of the distance function with respect to the point s.
+%   ddistde: derivative of the distance function with respect to the point e.
+% 
+% Description:
+% 
+%   Compute the distance between two given points along a NURBS curve, using 
+%   quad for numerical integration. The points are given by their coordinates
+%   in the parametric domain.
+%
+% Examples:
+%
+%  Compute the length of a circular arc constructed as a NURBS.
+%
+%   c = nrbcirc (1, [0 0], 0, pi/2);
+%   s = 0; e = 1;
+%   l = nrbmeasure (c, s, e, 1e-7);
