function varargout = ellipseAsPolygon(ellipse, N)
%ELLIPSEASPOLYGON Convert an ellipse into a series of points
%
%   Deprecated, use ellipseToPolygon instead.
%
%   P = ellipseAsPolygon(ELL, N);
%   converts ELL given as [x0 y0 a b] or [x0 y0 a b theta] into a polygon
%   with N edges. The result P is (N+1)-by-2 array containing coordinates
%   of the N+1 vertices of the polygon.
%   The resulting polygon is closed, i.e. the last point is the same as the
%   first one.
%
%   P = ellipseAsPolygon(ELL);
%   Use a default number of edges equal to 72. This result in one piont for
%   each 5 degrees.
%   
%   [X Y] = ellipseAsPolygon(...);
%   Return the coordinates o fvertices in two separate arrays.
