The sampling Class has a set of static functions, that you can call to sample the surface of a mesh.
Each function is templated on the mesh and on a Sampler object s. 
Each function calls many time the sample object with the sampling point as parameter.
 
Sampler Classes and Sampling algorithms are independent. 
Sampler classes exploits the sample that are generated with various algorithms.
For example, you can compute Hausdorff distance (that is a sampler) using various 
sampling strategies (montecarlo, stratified etc).

// Similar sampling 
// Each triangle is subdivided into similar triangles following a generalization of the classical 1-to-4 splitting rule of triangles. 
// According to the level of subdivision <k> you get 1, 4 , 9, 16 , <k^2> triangles. 
// Depending on the kind of the sampling strategies we can have two different approach to choosing the sample points. 
// 1) you have already sampled both edges and vertices
// 2) you are not going to take samples on edges and vertices. 
// 
// In the first case you have to consider only internal vertices of the subdivided triangles (to avoid multiple sampling of edges and vertices).
// Therefore the number of internal points is ((k-3)*(k-2))/2. where k is the number of points on an edge (vertex included)
// E.g. for k=4 you get 3 segments on each edges and the original triangle is subdivided 
// into 9 smaller triangles and you get (1*2)/2 == 1 only a single internal point.
// So if you want N samples in a triangle you have to solve  k^2 -5k +6 - 2N = 0 
// from which you get:
//
//      5 + sqrt( 1 + 8N ) 
// k = -------------------  
//             2
//
// In the second case if you are not interested to skip the sampling on edges and vertices you have to consider as sample number the number of triangles. 
// So if you want N samples in a triangle, the number <k> of points on  an edge (vertex included) should be simply:
//      k = 1 + sqrt(N)  
// examples: 
// N = 4 -> k = 3
// N = 9 -> k = 4
