Nearest Face Location Queries
The following functions can be used to find the closest point on a triangle mesh, given either a point or a ray.
This closest point is computed using a CGAL::AABB_tree. Users intending to call location functions on more than a single point (or ray) should first compute an AABB tree to store it (otherwise, it will be recomputed every time). Note that since the AABB tree class is a 3D structure, it might be required to wrap your point property map to convert your point type to the 3D point type (i.e., your traits' Point_3) if you are working with a 2D triangle structure.
If tm is the input triangulated surface mesh and given the pair (f, bc) such that bc is the triplet of barycentric coordinates (w0, w1, w2), the correspondance between the coordinates in bc and the vertices of the face f is the following:
w0 corresponds to source(halfedge(f, tm), tm)
w1 corresponds to target(halfedge(f, tm), tm)
w2 corresponds to target(next(halfedge(f, tm), tm), tm)
This function should first be called by users who intend to locate multiple points: in this case, it is better to first build an AABB tree, and use the function locate_with_AABB_tree() that takes as parameter an AABB tree, instead of calling locate() multiple times, which will build a new AABB tree on every call.
must be a class model of ReadablePropertyMap with boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::vertex_descriptor as key type and the CGAL 3D point type (your traits' Point_3) as value type.
Extra: The geometric traits class must be compatible with the vertex point type.
Extra: If such traits class is provided, its type FT must be identical to the template parameter FT of this function.
Precondition

Returns
a point whose type is the same as the value type of the vertex point property map provided by the user or via named parameters, or the internal point map of the mesh tm.
Given a location, returns a descriptor to the simplex of smallest dimension on which the point corresponding to the location lies.
In other words:
if the point lies on a vertex, this function returns a boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::vertex_descriptorv;
if the point lies on a halfedge, this function returns a boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::halfedge_descriptorhd (note that in that case, loc.first == face(hd, tm) holds).
otherwise, this function returns a boost::graph_traits<TriangleMesh>::face_descriptorfd (equal to loc.first).
loc.first is a face descriptor corresponding to a face of tm.
loc describes the barycentric coordinates of a point that lives within the face (boundary included), meaning the barycentric coordinates are all positive.

w1 corresponds to target(halfedge(f, tm), tm)

w2 corresponds to target(next(halfedge(f, tm), tm), tm)
returns the nearest face location to the given point.
Note that this function will build an AABB tree on each call. If you need to call this function more than once, first use build_AABB_tree() to create a an AABB tree that you can store and use the function locate_with_AABB_tree().

a tolerance value used to snap barycentric coordinates

Default: 0
Extra: Depending on the geometric traits used, the computation of the barycentric coordinates might be an inexact construction, thus leading to sometimes surprising values (e.g. a triplet [0.5, 0.5, -1-e17] for a point at the middle of an edge). The coordinates will be snapped towards 0 and 1 if the difference is smaller than the tolerance value, while still ensuring that the total sum of the coordinates is 1.
returns the face location along ray nearest to its source point.
If the ray does not intersect the mesh, a default constructed location is returned.
Note that this function will build an AABB tree on each call. If you need to call this function more than once, use build_AABB_tree() to cache a copy of the AABB_tree, and use the overloads of this function that accept a reference to an AABB tree as input.

returns a random point over the face fd, as a location.
