%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, real P(NP,2), the coordinates of a set of nodes.
%
%    Input, real X1, X2, Y1, Y2, the left, right, bottom and top
%    coordinates of the rectangle.
%
%    Output, real D, the signed distance of the points to the rectangle,
%    which is negative, 0 or positive depending on whether each point
%    is inside, or, or outside the rectangle.
