+function mag = vecmag(vec)
+% 
+% VECMAG: Magnitude of the vectors.
+% 
+% Calling Sequence:
+% 
+%   mvec = vecmag(vec)
+% 
+% INPUT:
+% 
+%   vec                : An array of column vectors represented by a matrix of
+%              size (dim,nv), where is the dimension of the vector and
+%              nv the number of vectors.
+%
+% OUTPUT:
+%
+%   mvec       : Magnitude of the vectors, vector of size (1,nv).
+% 
+% Description:
+% 
+%   Determines the magnitude of the vectors.
+% 
+% Examples:
+% 
+%   Find the magnitude of the two vectors (0.0,2.0,1.3) and (1.5,3.4,2.3)
+% 
+%   mvec = vecmag([0.0 1.5; 2.0 3.4; 1.3 2.3]);
