\defgroup pmp_namedparameters Named Parameters for Polygon Mesh Processing
\ingroup PkgPolygonMeshProcessing
In this package, all functions optional parameters are implemented as BGL optional
named parameters (see \ref BGLNamedParameters for more information on how to use them).
Since the parameters of the various polygon mesh processing functions defined
in this package are redundant, their long descriptions are centralized below.
The sequence of named parameters should start with `CGAL::parameters::`.
`CGAL::parameters::all_default()` can be used to indicate
that default values of optional named parameters must be used.
In the following, we assume that the following types are provided as template parameters
of polygon mesh processing functions and classes. Note that, for some of these functions,
the type is more specific:
<ul>
<li>`PolygonMesh` is a model of the concept `FaceGraph`</li>.
<li>`GeomTraits` a geometric traits class in which constructions are performed and
predicates evaluated. Everywhere in this package, a \cgal `Kernel` fulfills the requirements.</li>
</ul>
The following named parameters, offered by the package \ref PkgBGLSummary
(see \ref bgl_namedparameters), are used in this package:
\cgalNPTableBegin
\cgalNPBegin{vertex_point_map} \anchor PMP_vertex_point_map
is the property map with the points associated to the vertices of the polygon mesh `pmesh`.\n
<b>Type:</b> a class model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with
`boost::graph_traits<PolygonMesh>::%vertex_descriptor` as key type and
`GeomTraits::Point_3` as value type. \n

\cgalNPEnd

<b>Type:</b> a class model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with
`boost::graph_traits<PolygonMesh>::%vertex_descriptor` as key type and the value type
\code typename boost::property_traits<typename boost::property_map<PolygonMesh, CGAL::vertex_index_t>::type>::value_type \endcode
