Hello, 
    
I am attempting to use the Advancing Front Surface Reconstruction method to
take a set of points and produce a mesh from them. The problem I am facing
is that the method often produces an undesired result by producing undesired
facets between points that I want to be on the boundary of the mesh. What I
want to do is control what the method uses as the boundary of the mesh by
giving the function a set of desired boundary points. A simple example of
this problem I am facing is in the images i have attached : the first image
is the mesh i want to produce, and the second image is the mesh that
Advancing Front Surface Reconstruction produces, the problem here being it
doesn't produce the desired concave results at the top of the mesh because
it creates facets between points I want to be on the boundary. I was
wondering if there was a way to accomplish this setting of boundary points
with the Advancing Front Surface Reconstruction function, or if there exists
a better method within CGAL to accomplish this task.  

Thank you for your time
