getEllipseLengthVector.m

function [ thetaVec,sVec ] = getEllipseLengthVector( a,b, theta0,theta1 )
%% About:
% This function is used to return the length of the ellipse as a function
% of the angle theta.

%% Inputs:
% theta0, theta1: start/end angle of the arc of the ellipse (from the parametric equation of the ellipse)
% a,b: the big and the small radious of the ellipse.
