CGAL users discussion list

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make some comparisons between meshes generated using both 
TetGen as CGAL. Tetgen statistics for generated meshes are pretty detailed, 
but for CGAL (and I must admit that because of time issued I'm only using the 
Mesh_3 demo) there are a few statistics I dont comprehend fully. Is there a 
place where the demo, its way of functioning and statistics are explained? 
I'm interested in facet angles (this are the angles of superficial faces 
right?), the dihedral angle (these are showned in the diagram at the bottom 
of the window right?) and the tet. max size (does this size refer to 
tetrahedral volumes?). 

Another issue is the aspect (visually) of final meshes. I've generated a 
couple, and when I look at them I can see places where the original borders 
are not included (see example pictures). Is this because CGAL doesnt conform 
to boundaries????

Please I would appretiate your help a lot .
Thanks again,
Fabio.
