+%% Creates the vector V12, defined as the difference between coordinates

+%% P1 and P2 are row vectors with ND elements, ND being the space
+%% dimension.
+%%
+%% If one of the inputs is a N-by-Nd array, the other input is
+%% automatically repeated, and the result is N-by-Nd.
+%%
+%% If both inputs have the same size, the result also have the same size.
