+--- Synopsis ---
+
+TriMeshInfo is a tool designed to inspect 3D models and retrieve all the 
+topological related information. It can be used to automate the process 
+of decoding 3D mesh inherent properties and ease data classification 
+and retrieval. 
+
+
+For each analyzed dataset the following information are extracted: 
+
+* Number of Vertices (Unreferenced vertices are listed separately) 
+* Number of Faces 
+* Number of Edges 
+* Number of Connected Components 
+* Number of Boundaries 
+* Number of Isolated Vertices (i.e. Unreferenced) 
+* Manifold 
+* Genus (Computed only for Manifold Datasets) 
+* Self-Intersection (Currently computed only for Datasets with less than 3M faces) 
+* Orientability 
+* Orientation 
+* Regularity (We consider as regular those meshes generated through 
+  regular subdivision. Each non boundary vertex of a regular mesh has 
+  6 incident edges, if there are only 5 incident edges the mesh is said to be 
+  semi-regular, irregular in all other cases) 
+
+The application has no graphical interface but works as the "Metro" tool on command line. 
+
+TriMeshInfo is written in C++ and makes use of the VCL library. 
+The tool supports two file formats ply (as described in the following document 
+http://vcg.sourceforge.net/img/wiki_up/plyformat.pdf) 
+and off (as described in http://www.geomview.org/docs/html/geomview_41.html#SEC44) .
