%SerialLink.ikine3 Inverse kinematics for 3-axis robot with no wrist
%
% Q = R.ikine3(T) is the joint coordinates corresponding to the robot
% end-effector pose T represented by the homogenenous transform.  This
% is a analytic solution for a 3-axis robot (such as the first three joints
% of a robot like the Puma 560).
%
% Q = R.ikine3(T, CONFIG) as above but specifies the configuration of the arm in
% the form of a string containing one or more of the configuration codes:
%
% 'l'   arm to the left (default)
% 'r'   arm to the right
% 'u'   elbow up (default)
% 'd'   elbow down
%
% Notes::
% - The same as IKINE6S without the wrist.
% - The inverse kinematic solution is generally not unique, and 
%   depends on the configuration string.
% - Joint offsets, if defined, are added to the inverse kinematics to 
%   generate Q.
