function normData = norm2maxi(varargin)
% NORM2MAXI Normalize reflectivity to maximum intensity
%   NORMDATA = NORM2MAXI(RAWDATA,ARGUMENT)
%
%   Format of input:
%       RAWDATA: Mx2 or Mx3 matrix. 1st column qz (Unit: A^-1), 2nd 
%           intensity, 3rd absolute error of intensity if exists.
%       ARGUMENT: can be the intensity to be normalized to, or blank. If
%           there is no argument, then normalize to maximum intensity.
%
%   Format of output:
%       NORMDATA: Mx2 or Mx3
