EXAMPLE:
make_STL_of_Array(FileName,Data,scaleX,scaleY,scaleZ)
..or..
[Vertices, Triangle, Quads] = make_STL_of_Array(FileName,Data,scaleX,scaleY,scaleZ)

INPUTS

            FileName   - string            - Filename of the STL file.
            
            Data  - 3D logical array - Voxelised data
                                  1 => Inside the object
                                  0 => Outside the object
                    (FOR PRINTING WITH TWO MATERIALS YOU SHOULD INVERSE
                    Data (Data = ~Data) AND RUN CODE AGAIN TO HAVE THE SECOND TYPE)

            scaleX     - A number which means the X size of every
                    voxel in mm
            scaleY     - A number which means the Y size of every 
                    voxel in mm
            scaleZ     - A number which means the Z size of every
                    voxel in mm

OUTPUTS

            vertices - Nx3 array   - A list of the x,y,z coordinates of
                       each vertex in the mesh.
                       
            Triangle    - Nx3 array   - A list of the vertices used in
                       each Triangle of the mesh, identified using the row
                       number in the array vertices.

            Quads    - Nx4 array   - A list of the vertices used in
                       each Quads of the mesh, identified using the row
                       number in the array vertices.
