+
+Commonly usable options are following. The name <i>diag</i> stands there for
+the diagonal of the bounding box of the geometrical object to mesh.
+
+<ul>
+<li><b>topo_eps1</b> (real) - is the tolerance level inside a CAD
+patch. By default is equal to <i>diag</i> × 10-4. This tolerance is used to
+identify nodes to merge within one geometrical face when \b Topology
+option is to pre-process. Default is <i>diag</i>/10.0.</li>
+
+<li><b>topo_eps2</b> (real) - is the tolerance level between two CAD
+patches. By default is equal to <i>diag</i> × 10-4. This tolerance is used to
+identify nodes to merge over different geometrical faces when
+\b Topology option is to pre-process. Default is <i>diag</i>/10.0.</li>
+
+<li>\b LSS (real) - is an abbreviation for "length of sub-segment". It is
+a maximal allowed length of a mesh edge. Default is 0.5.</li>
+
+<li>\b frontal (integer)
+<ul>
+<li> 1 - the mesh generator inserts points with an advancing front method.</li>
+<li> 0 - it inserts them with an algebraic method (on internal edges). This method is
+slightly faster but generates less regular meshes. </li>
+</ul>
+Default is 0.</li>
+
+<li>\b hinterpol_flag (integer) - determines the computation of an
+interpolated value <i>v</i> between two points <i>P1</i> and <i>P2</i> on a
+curve. Let <i>h1</i> be the value at point <i>P1,</i> <i>h2</i> be the value at point
+<i>P2,</i> and <i>t</i> be a parameter varying from 0 to 1 when moving from <i>P1
+to</i> <i>P2</i> . 
+<ul>
+<li>0 - the interpolation is linear: <i>v = h1 + t (h2 - h1 )</i></li>
+<li>1 - the interpolation is geometric: <i>v = h1 * pow( h2/h1, t)</i></li>
+<li>2 - the interpolation is sinusoidal: <i>v = (h1+h2)/2 +
+(h1-h2)/2*cos(PI*t)</i></li>
+</ul>
+Default is 0.</li>
+
+<li>\b hmean_flag (integer) - determines the computation of the mean of several
+values:<ul>
+<li>-1 - the minimum is computed.</li>
+<li>0 or 2 - the arithmetic mean computed.
+<li>1 - the geometric mean is computed.</li>
+</ul>
+Default is 0.</li>
+
+<li>\b CheckAdjacentEdges, \b CheckCloseEdges and \b CheckWellDefined
+(integers) - give number of calls of equally named subroutines the
+purpose of which is to improve the mesh of domains having narrow
+parts. At each iteration,\b CheckCloseEdges decreases the sizes of the
+edges when two boundary curves are neighboring,\b CheckAdjacentEdges
+balances the sizes of adjacent edges, and \b CheckWellDefined checks if
+the parametric domain is well defined. Default values are 0.</li>
+
+
+<li>\b CoefRectangle (real)- defines the relative thickness of the rectangles
+used by subroutine \b CheckCloseEdges (see above). Default is 0.25.</li>
+
+<li>\b eps_collapse (real) - if is more than 0.0, BLSURF removes
+curves whose lengths are less than \b eps_collapse. Here, to obtain an
+approximate value of the length of a curve, the latter is arbitrarily
+split into 20 edges. Default is 0.0.</li>
+
+<li>\b eps_ends (real) - is used to detect curves whose lengths are very
+small, which sometimes constitutes an error. A message is printed
+if<i> fabs(P2-P1) < eps_ends</i>, where </i>P1 and </i>P2 are the
+extremities of a curve. Default is <i>diag</i>/500.0.
+
+<li>\b prefix (char) - is a prefix of the files generated by BLSURF. Default is "x".</li>
+
+<li>\b refs (integer) - reference of a surface, used when exporting
+files. Default is 1.</li>
