%LINK create a new LINK object
%
% A LINK object holds all information related to a robot link such as
% kinematics of the joint, rigid-body inertial parameters, motor and
% transmission parameters.
%
%	L = LINK
%	L = LINK(link)
%
% Create a default link, or a clone of the passed link.
%
%	A = LINK(q)
%
% Compute the link transform matrix for the link, given the joint
% variable q.
%
%	L = LINK([alpha A theta D])
% 	L =LINK([alpha A theta D sigma])
% 	L =LINK([alpha A theta D sigma offset])
% 	L =LINK([alpha A theta D], CONVENTION)
% 	L =LINK([alpha A theta D sigma], CONVENTION)
% 	L =LINK([alpha A theta D sigma offset], CONVENTION)
%
% If sigma or offset are not provided they default to zero.  Offset is a
% constant amount added to the joint angle variable before forward kinematics
% and is useful if you want the robot to adopt a 'sensible' pose for zero
% joint angle configuration.
%
% The optional CONVENTION argument is 'standard' for standard D&H parameters 
% or 'modified' for modified D&H parameters.  If not specified the default
% 'standard'.
% Handling the different kinematic conventions is now hidden within the LINK
% object.
%
% Conceivably all sorts of stuff could live in the LINK object such as
% graphical models of links and so on.
%
% For robot models prior to Toolbox release 5 (pre Matlab objects) the
% following object constructors are provided.
%
% 	L = LINK(DYN_ROW)		create from row of legacy DYN matrix
%	L = LINK(DYN_ROW, CONVENTION)	create from row of legacy DYN matrix
%
