Hi all,

CGAL has many different ways to triangulate a set of points and that
works super. But how can I generate those points? I need to reduce the
facet size of a polyhedron so I only have the vertices describing a
facet. Now I need to add more vertices in a clever way to tile the facet
with (preferably equally big) triangles. I think that would be called
tesselation (at least it is in computer graphics). But it is not a
surface_subdivision (I do not want to make the whole shape better
looking). In the docs
(http://www.cgal.org/Manual/3.4/doc_html/cgal_manual/Surface_mesher/Chapter_main.html
39.5) I have found a hint to remesh a facet (undocumented) but can not find
it in the example code...

Thanks for any thoughts and help,

Jens
