consists of setting the \b length of segments, which will approximate these
edges, and the \b precision of rounding.
-The \b precision parameter is used to round a number of segments,
-calculated by dividing the edge length by the specified \b length of
-segment, to the higher integer if the remainder exceeds the precision
-and to the lower integer otherwise. Use value 0.5 to provide rounding
-to the nearest integer, 1.0 for the lower integer, 0.0 for the higher
-integer. Default value is 1e-07.

+For example: if <em>edge length</em> is 10.0 and the segment \b length
+is 3.0 then their division gives 10./3. = 3.33(3) and the \a remainder is 0.33(3).
+If \b precision is less than 0.33(3) then the edge is divided into 3 segments.
+If \b precision is more than 0.33(3) then the edge is divided into 4 segments.
