+<p>A Delaunay refinement algorithm is guided by meshing criteria that trigger Steiner vertices insertions,
+until they are satisfied.
+The list of CGAL meshing criteria has been enriched with a new criterion that enables the user to
+define an upper bound on the distance between the input feature graph and the output feature edges.</p>

+<p>The following example shows how to use this new criterion, called <i>edge_distance</i>:
