uv() method in ISurface has a problem at the seams

[ghost]

When using the uv() function to project a point (IVec) on to a surface, there seem to be a problem if the surface is closed (like a tube or a cylinder).

A picture is worth a thousand words so :

The black line is where the UV coordinates wrap back, the red dots are projected through the yellow arrow to the magenta points. Around the seam, the projected points end up on the seam instead of their normal place.

Also, every 10 points or so, the projection is a bit off. Dunno if it's related or not...

I hope this can help correcting it !

Thank you for pointing out the issue.
I haven't found time to work on it yet but when I do I'll let you know.
The issue on the edge of the surface seems to be something I should fix but another issue of being off every 10 points are due to the quick approximation algorithm I use.

Mapping from uv -> xyz is mathematically precise but invert mapping of xyz -> uv is approximation and more precise approximation requires more CPU time. If you know an efficient and highly precise algorithm, let me know.

Thanks,
