			% Let P be the m x 3 array of the 3D points to be projected, let Q be the
			% 1 x 3 vector of the given point on the plane, let N be the 1 x 3 vector
			% of the normal direction to the plane, and let P0 be the m x 3 array of
			% points orthogonally projected from P onto the plane. Then do this:

			N = N/norm(N);
			N2 = N.'*N;

			% being the 4x4 matrix of the thanformation

			% AT: check the code with
