void mmn_make_tri_tree (  const vnl_matrix< double > &  D, vcl_vector< mmn_arc > &  arcs, int  v0 = -1 )

Compute arcs defining a graph s.t. triangles form a tree. Compute arc of graph such that point belongs to at least one triangle, and the graph of triangles is a tree (acylcic). Two triangles are neighbours if they share an edge (arc). The approach is to select nodes one at a time, at each step choosing the node closest to two nodes ending an existing arc. This gives two new arcs. Complexity is approximately O(n^2) Parameters: D,:  a symmetric matrix indicating proximity of two nodes arcs,:  Output 2n-3 arcs defining the graph. v0,:  If input as >=0 then defines one node of the first arc
