-\todo Tabular with input/output properties and corresponding method 
+Choosing one or the other of these methods is strongly dependent on
+the input properties and the output requirement. For example, Poisson
+always generates closed shapes (surrounding a volume) and requires
+normals but does not interpolate input points (the output surface does
+not pass exactly through the input points). The following table lists
+different properties of the input and output to help you choose which
+method is more suited for your work:
