// \brief Topological container for a spatial point, without geometry info
//
//  The vtol_vertex class is used to represent either a 2D or 3D point on
//  a topological structure.  A vtol_vertex does not actually maintain a pointer
//  to the vsol_point which is the actual spatial point, since this could either
//  be a vsol_point_2d or a vsol_point_3d.  See vtol_vertex_2d for this purpose.
//
// \verbatim
//  Modifications:
//   JLM December 1995, Added timeStamp(touch) to operations which affect bounds
//   JLM October 1996,  Added the method EuclideanDistance(vtol_vertex &)
//                      to permit Charlie Rothwell's Polyhedra code to be more
//                      generic.  Note this is distance, NOT squared distance.
//   LEG May 2000. ported to vxl
//   Dec. 2002, Peter Vanroose -interface change: vtol objects -> smart pointers
//   Sept.2004, Peter Vanroose -is_endpoint() now accepts smart pointer argument
