Subject: WIP: avoid division by zero if 3 points are aligned
X-Git-Url: http://git.salome-platform.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fe2ace7321690b44b4693a6c61a5ccd74056b812;p=tools%2Fmedcoupling.git

WIP: avoid division by zero if 3 points are aligned
In case of polyhedron similar to a box with 2 coplanar faces (i.e. a box's face split by an edge on its middle)
TODO: add a test
