Hi, 
I would appreciate it if someone explains how the curvature criterion is enforced in Curvature_size_criterion class (in mesh_standard_facet_criteria.h)

As I understand, in the "do_is_bad" member function of Curvature_size_criterion class, the distance between circumcenter of facet and "facet surface center" is calculated to ensure it does not exceed the allowed maximum value.

The following are ambiguous to me:
- Is this criterion trying to put a bound on the distance between the facets and the "mesh domain" surface? (in my case "mesh domain" is defined by a polyhedron)
- Is the circumcenter located in the plane of facet and "facet surface 
center" located on the "mesh domain" surface?

Also, any hint to a document that discusses this in more details is highly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Ramin
