//   The polygon is given as a list of 2D points, not including the repeated end point.

// See Also: polygon_area(), centroid(), polygon_normal(), point_in_polygon(), polygon_line_intersection()
// Usage:
//   pt = polygon_line_intersection(poly, line, [bounded], [nonzero], [eps]);
// Description:
//   Takes a possibly bounded line, and a 2D or 3D planar polygon, and finds their intersection.  Note the polygon is
//   treated as its boundary and interior, so the intersection may include both points and line segments.  
//   If the line does not intersect the polygon returns `undef`.  
//   In 3D if the line is not on the plane of the polygon but intersects it then you get a single intersection point.
//   Otherwise the polygon and line are in the same plane, or when your input is 2D, you will get a list of segments and 
//   single point lists.  Use `is_vector` to distinguish these two cases.
//   .
//   In the 2D case, a common result is a list containing a single segment, which lists the two intersection points
//   with the boundary of the polygon.
//   When single points are in the intersection (the line just touches a polygon corner) they appear on the segment
//   list as lists of a single point
//   (like single point segments) so a single point intersection in 2D has the form `[[[x,y,z]]]` as compared
//   to a single point intersection in 3D which has the form `[x,y,z]`.  You can identify whether an entry in the

// Function: polygon_triangulate()
// Synopsis: Divide a polygon into triangles. 
// Topics: Geometry, Triangulation
// See Also: vnf_triangulate()
// Usage:
//   triangles = polygon_triangulate(poly, [ind], [error], [eps])
// Description:
//   Given a simple polygon in 2D or 3D, triangulates it and returns a list 
//   of triples indexing into the polygon vertices. When the optional argument `ind` is 
//   given, it is used as an index list into `poly` to define the polygon vertices. In that case, 
//   `poly` may have a length greater than `ind`. When `ind` is undefined, all points in `poly` 
//   are considered as vertices of the polygon.
//   .
//   For 2d polygons, the output triangles will have the same winding (CW or CCW) of
//   the input polygon. For 3d polygons, the triangle windings will induce a normal
//   vector with the same direction of the polygon normal.
//   .
//   The function produce correct triangulations for some non-twisted non-simple polygons. 
//   A polygon is non-twisted iff it is simple or it has a partition in
//   simple polygons with the same winding such that the intersection of any two partitions is
//   made of full edges and/or vertices of both partitions. These polygons may have "touching" vertices 
//   (two vertices having the same coordinates, but distinct adjacencies) and "contact" edges 
//   (edges whose vertex pairs have the same pairwise coordinates but are in reversed order) but has 
//   no self-crossing. See examples bellow. If all polygon edges are contact edges (polygons with 
//   zero area), it returns an empty list for 2d polygons and reports an error for 3d polygons. 
//   Triangulation errors are reported either by an assert error (when `error=true`) or by returning 
//   `undef` (when `error=false`). Invalid arguments always produce an assert error.
//   .
//   Twisted polygons have no consistent winding and when input to this function usually reports 
//   an error but when an error is not reported the outputs are not correct triangulations. The function
//   can work for 3d non-planar polygons if they are close enough to planar but may otherwise 
//   report an error for this case. 
// Arguments:
//   poly = Array of the polygon vertices.
//   ind = If given, a list of indices indexing the vertices of the polygon in `poly`.  Default: use all the points of poly
//   error = If false, returns `undef` when the polygon cannot be triangulated; otherwise, issues an assert error. Default: true.

// Usage:
//   newpoly = reindex_polygon(reference, poly);
// Description:
//   Rotates and possibly reverses the point order of a 2d or 3d polygon path to optimize its pairwise point
//   association with a reference polygon.  The two polygons must have the same number of vertices and be the same dimension.
//   The optimization is done by computing the distance, norm(reference[i]-poly[i]), between
//   corresponding pairs of vertices of the two polygons and choosing the polygon point index rotation that
//   makes the total sum over all pairs as small as possible.  Returns the reindexed polygon.  Note
//   that the geometry of the polygon is not changed by this operation, just the labeling of its
//   vertices.  If the input polygon is 2d and is oriented opposite the reference then its point order is
//   reversed.
// Arguments:
//   reference = reference polygon path
//   poly = input polygon to reindex
// Example(2D):  The red dots show the 0th entry in the two input path lists.  Note that the red dots are not near each other.  The blue dot shows the 0th entry in the output polygon

//   transformations.  By default returns the rotated and reindexed polygon.  You can also request that
//   the best angle or the index into the transformation list be returned.  
// Arguments:
//   reference = reference polygon

// Synopsis: Extract axis and rotation angle from a rotation matrix. 
// Topics: Affine, Matrices, Transforms
// Usage:
//   info = rot_decode(rotation,[long]); // Returns: [angle,axis,cp,translation]
// Description:
//   Given an input 3D rigid transformation operator (one composed of just rotations and translations) represented
//   as a 4x4 matrix, compute the rotation and translation parameters of the operator.  Returns a list of the
//   four parameters, the angle, in the interval [0,180], the rotation axis as a unit vector, a centerpoint for
//   the rotation, and a translation.  If you set `parms = rot_decode(rotation)` then the transformation can be
//   reconstructed from parms as `move(parms[3]) * rot(a=parms[0],v=parms[1],cp=parms[2])`.  This decomposition
//   makes it possible to perform interpolation.  If you construct a transformation using `rot` the decoding
//   may flip the axis (if you gave an angle outside of [0,180]).  The returned axis will be a unit vector, and
//   the centerpoint lies on the plane through the origin that is perpendicular to the axis.  It may be different
//   than the centerpoint you used to construct the transformation.
//   .
//   If you set `long` to true then return the reversed rotation, with the angle in [180,360].
// Arguments:
//   rotation = rigid transformation to decode
