+ * It chooses `final_size` points from a random access range
+ * `input_pts` (or the number of distinct points if `final_size` is larger)
+ * and outputs them in the output iterator `output_it`. It also
* outputs the distance from each of those points to the set of previous
* points in `dist_it`.
- * @param[in] k A kernel object.
- * @param[in] input_pts Const reference to the input points.
+ * \tparam Distance must provide an operator() that takes 2 points (value type of the range)
+ * and returns their distance (or some more general proximity measure) as a `double`.
+ * \tparam Point_range Random access range of points.
+ * \tparam PointOutputIterator Output iterator whose value type is the point type.
+ * \tparam DistanceOutputIterator Output iterator for distances.
+ * @param[in] dist A distance function.
+ * @param[in] input_pts The input points.
* @param[in] final_size The size of the subsample to compute.
* @param[in] starting_point The seed in the farthest point algorithm.
* @param[out] output_it The output iterator for points.
* @param[out] dist_it The optional output iterator for distances.
+ *
+ * \warning Older versions of this function took a CGAL kernel as argument. Users need to replace `k` with
+ * `k.squared_distance_d_object()` in the first argument of every call to `choose_n_farthest_points`.
