%SerialLink.fkine Forward kinematics
%
% T = R.fkine(Q, OPTIONS) is the pose of the robot end-effector as an SE3
% object for the joint configuration Q (1xN).
%
% If Q is a matrix (KxN) the rows are interpreted as the generalized joint
% coordinates for a sequence of points along a trajectory.  Q(i,j) is the
% j'th joint parameter for the i'th trajectory point.  In this case T is a
% an array of SE3 objects (K) where the subscript is the index along the path.
%
% [T,ALL] = R.fkine(Q) as above but ALL (N) is a vector of SE3 objects describing 
% the pose of the link frames 1 to N.
%
% Options::
%  'deg'    Assume that revolute joint coordinates are in degrees not
%           radians
%
% Note::
% - The robot's base or tool transform, if present, are incorporated into the
%   result.
% - Joint offsets, if defined, are added to Q before the forward kinematics are
%   computed.
% - If the result is symbolic then each element is simplified.
