Hi there!

I am just wondering that for a surface mesh, without knowing the actual types of the property maps, can we get a list of the names (string) of the property maps?

Or, without knowing the names (string) of the property maps, can we list all the property maps that have a specific type?

I'm thinking of scenarios like my upstream processing may produce a property map for vertex normals, but I do not know the type or the name of the vertex normal property map. I'd like to search for a property map that looks like a vertex normal property map. E.g I may look for a property map with the type of CGAL::Surface_mesh<Kenerl_t>::Property_map<vertex_descriptor_t, Kernel_t::Vector_3> but without knowing the name. Or look for a property map that has the name of "vertex_normals" (a non-conventional name) without knowing the type of the property map.

Regards,

Yaoyu
