%% NOT2 evaluates a factor for serendipity basis functions.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    not2(x1,y1,x2,y2,x3,y3,x4,y4) evaluates at the point (x1,y1), the basis 
%    factor that is 0 at (x2,y2) and (x3,y3) and 1 at (x4,y4):
%
%          ( ( x1 - x2 ) * ( y3 - y2 ) - ( x3 - x2 ) * ( y1 - y2 ) )
%        / ( ( x4 - x2 ) * ( y3 - y2 ) - ( x3 - x2 ) * ( y4 - y2 ) )
