This function calculates the maximum distance of a long bone as represented by its mesh vertices. It requires an $N\times 3$ matrix as input argument, which contains the x,y,z coordinates in R3. The function also returns the point coordinates that correspond to the maximum distance.

longbone_maxDistance may be called with varying number of output arguments.

• If one output argument is defined, then maximum distance is returned.
• If two output arguments are defined, then the corresponding points of maximum distance are returned.
• If 3 output arguments are defined, then the maximum distance along with its corresponding points are returned.
