+    \cgalParamBegin{vertex_point_map}
+      the property map with the points associated to the vertices of `mesh` .
+      If this parameter is omitted, an internal property map for
+      `CGAL::vertex_point_t` should be available in `FaceGraph`
+    \cgalParamEnd
+    \cgalParamBegin{vertex_index_map}
+      is a property map containing for each vertex of `mesh` a unique index between `0` and `num_vertices(mesh)-1`.
