Syntax

[dp,PLA,PLB]=CPLdistance(CPLA,CPLB,[d,lim])

Input Parameter

`CPLA`:		Contour A
`CPLB`:		Contour B
`d`:		sample distance
`lim`:		if true d is limit not sample distance

Output Parameter

`dp`:		minimal distance
`PLA`:		List of Points on CPLA (including auxiliary points)
`PLB`:		List of Points on CPLB (including auxiliary points)
