\ingroup PkgOptimalTransportationReconstruction2Classes

This class provides a means to reconstruct a 1-dimensional shape from a set of 2D points with masses.
The algorithm computes an initial 2D Delaunay triangulation from the input points, 
and performs a simplification of the triangulation by performing half edge collapses, edge flips and vertex relocations.

The edges are either processed in the order imposed by an priority queue, or
in an order based on random selection of edge collapse operators.
As the exhaustive priority queue guarantees a higher quality it is the default.
The user can switch to the other method, for example for an initial
simplification round, by calling `set_random_sample_size()`.

By default edge flip operators are applied to ensure that every edge of the 
triangulation are candidate to be collapsed, while preserving a valid embedding
of the triangulation. This option can be disabled by calling
\link set_use_flip() `set_use_flip(false)`\endlink to reduce the running times.

By default the vertices are not relocated after each half edge collapse.
This option can be changed by setting the number of vertex relocation steps
performed between two edge collapse operators.

The simplification is performed by calling either 
\link run_until() `run_until(n)`\endlink or \link run() `run(steps)`\endlink.
The former simplifies the triangulation until n points remain, while the latter
stops after `steps` edge collapse operators have been performed.
Furthermore, we can relocate the vertices by calling `relocate_all_points()`.

\tparam Traits a model of the concept `OptimalTransportationReconstructionTraits_2`.

\tparam PointPMap a model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with value type `Traits::Point_2`.
        Defaults to <a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/property_map/doc/identity_property_map.html">`boost::typed_identity_property_map<Traits::Point_2>`</a> 
        (for the case the input is points without mass).

\tparam MassPMap a model of `ReadablePropertyMap` with value type `Traits::FT`
        Defaults to <a href="https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/release/libs/property_map/doc/static_property_map.html">`boost::static_property_map<Traits::FT>`</a>
