* Visualizations of the simplicial complexes can be done with either
* neato (from graphviz),
* geomview,
* KeplerMapper.
* Input point clouds are assumed to be
* OFF files.
*
* \section covers Covers
*
* Nerves and Graph Induced Complexes require a cover C of the input point cloud P,
* that is a set of subsets of P whose union is P itself.
* Very often, this cover is obtained from the preimage of a family of intervals covering
* the image of some scalar-valued function f defined on P. This family is parameterized
* by its resolution, which can be either the number or the length of the intervals,
* and its gain, which is the overlap percentage between consecutive intervals (ordered by their first values).
*
* \section nerves Nerves
*
* \subsection nervedefinition Nerve definition
*
* Assume you are given a cover C of your point cloud P. Then, the Nerve of this cover
* is the simplicial complex that has one k-simplex per k-fold intersection of cover elements.
* See also Wikipedia .
*
* \image html "nerve.png" "Nerve of a double torus"
*
* \subsection nerveexample Example
*
* This example builds the Nerve of a point cloud sampled on a 3D human shape (human.off).
* The cover C comes from the preimages of intervals (10 intervals with gain 0.3)
* covering the height function (coordinate 2),
* which are then refined into their connected components using the triangulation of the .OFF file.
*
* \include Nerve_GIC/Nerve.cpp
*
* When launching:
*
* \code $> ./Nerve ../../data/points/human.off 2 10 0.3 -v
* \endcode
*
* the program output is:
*
* \include Nerve_GIC/Nerve.txt
*
* The program also writes a file ../../data/points/human_sc.txt. The first three lines in this file are the location
* of the input point cloud and the function used to compute the cover.
* The fourth line contains the number of vertices nv and edges ne of the Nerve.
* The next nv lines represent the vertices. Each line contains the vertex ID,
* the number of data points it contains, and their average color function value.
* Finally, the next ne lines represent the edges, characterized by the ID of their vertices.
*
* Using KeplerMapper, one can obtain the following visualization:

*
* \section gic Graph Induced Complexes (GIC)
*
* \subsection gicdefinition GIC definition
*
* Again, assume you are given a cover C of your point cloud P. Moreover, assume
* you are also given a graph G built on top of P. Then, for any clique in G
* whose nodes all belong to different elements of C, the GIC includes a corresponding
* simplex, whose dimension is the number of nodes in the clique minus one.
* See \cite Dey13 for more details.
*
* \image html "GIC.jpg" "GIC of a point cloud."
*
* \subsection gicexamplevor Example with cover from Voronoï
*
* This example builds the GIC of a point cloud sampled on a 3D human shape (human.off).
* We randomly subsampled 100 points in the point cloud, which act as seeds of
* a geodesic Voronoï diagram. Each cell of the diagram is then an element of C.
* The graph G (used to compute both the geodesics for Voronoï and the GIC)
* comes from the triangulation of the human shape. Note that the resulting simplicial complex is in dimension 3
* in this example.
*
* \include Nerve_GIC/VoronoiGIC.cpp
*
* When launching:
*
* \code $> ./VoronoiGIC ../../data/points/human.off 700 -v
* \endcode
*
* the program outputs SC.off. Using e.g.
*
* \code $> geomview ../../data/points/human_sc.off
* \endcode
*
* one can obtain the following visualization:
*
* \image html "gicvoronoivisu.jpg" "Visualization with Geomview"
*
* \subsection functionalGICdefinition Functional GIC
*
* If one restricts to the cliques in G whose nodes all belong to preimages of consecutive
* intervals (assuming the cover of the height function is minimal, i.e. no more than
* two intervals can intersect at a time), the GIC is of dimension one, i.e. a graph.
* We call this graph the functional GIC. See \cite Carriere16 for more details.
*
* \subsection functionalGICexample Example
*
* Functional GIC comes with automatic selection of the Rips threshold,
* the resolution and the gain of the function cover. See \cite Carriere17c for more details. In this example,
* we compute the functional GIC of a Klein bottle embedded in R^5,
* where the graph G comes from a Rips complex with automatic threshold,
* and the cover C comes from the preimages of intervals covering the first coordinate,
* with automatic resolution and gain. Note that automatic threshold, resolution and gain
* can be computed as well for the Nerve.
*
* \include Nerve_GIC/CoordGIC.cpp
*
* When launching:
*
* \code $> ./CoordGIC ../../data/points/KleinBottle5D.off 0 -v
* \endcode
*
* the program outputs SC.dot. Using e.g.
*
* \code $> neato SC.dot -Tpdf -o SC.pdf
* \endcode
*
* one can obtain the following visualization:
*
* \image html "coordGICvisu2.jpg" "Visualization with Neato"
*
* where nodes are colored by the filter function values and, for each node, the first number is its ID
* and the second is the number of data points that its contain.
*
* We also provide an example on a set of 72 pictures taken around the same object (lucky_cat.off).
* The function is now the first eigenfunction given by PCA, whose values
* are written in a file (lucky_cat_PCA1). Threshold, resolution and gain are automatically selected as before.
*
* \include Nerve_GIC/FuncGIC.cpp
*
* When launching:
*
* \code $> ./FuncGIC ../../data/points/COIL_database/lucky_cat.off ../../data/points/COIL_database/lucky_cat_PCA1 -v
* \endcode
*
* the program outputs again SC.dot which gives the following visualization after using neato:
*
* \image html "funcGICvisu.jpg" "Visualization with neato"
