This fuction takes a structure input argument, EXTRA, which can be the fourth output argument of the longbone_Geometry function and plots all five cross sectional polygon in the a single figure. Unlike the visualize_CrossSections function, plot_CrossSections does not print a legend with CSG properties for each cross section.

Use this function to swiftly evaluate that a 3D model processed with the longbone_Geometry function does not contain any artifacts, which may lead to degenerate closed polygons representing the computed diaphyseal cross sections and as a result to incorrect values of CSG properties.

The input argument EXTRA can also be any scalar structure or a structure array with the following fields, as long as they contain equivalent values to those returned by longbone_Geometry.

1. filename
2. poly2D_20
3. poly2D_35
4. poly2D_50
5. poly2D_65
6. poly2D_80

Use the plot_CrossSections function to visualize the cross sections of the large collection of long bones from European populations provided by the csg-dataset package. When EXTRA is a structure array, then each element is plotted in consecutive order.
