// Description:
//   Returns the [CENTERPOINT, RADIUS, NORMAL] of the circle that passes through three non-collinear
//   points where NORMAL is the normal vector of the plane that the circle is on (UP or DOWN if the points are 2D).
//   The centerpoint will be a 2D or 3D vector, depending on the points input.  If all three
//   points are 2D, then the resulting centerpoint will be 2D, and the normal will be UP ([0,0,1]).
//   If any of the points are 3D, then the resulting centerpoint will be 3D.  If the three points are
//   collinear, then `[undef,undef,undef]` will be returned.  The normal will be a normalized 3D
//   vector with a non-negative Z axis.
//   Instead of 3 arguments, it is acceptable to input the 3 points in a list `pt1`, leaving `pt2`and `pt3` as undef.
// Arguments:

// Function: reindex_polygon()
// Usage:

// Description:
//   Rotates and possibly reverses the point order of a 2d or 3d polygon path to optimize its pairwise point
//   association with a reference polygon.  The two polygons must have the same number of vertices and be the same dimension.
//   The optimization is done by computing the distance, norm(reference[i]-poly[i]), between
//   corresponding pairs of vertices of the two polygons and choosing the polygon point order that
//   makes the total sum over all pairs as small as possible.  Returns the reindexed polygon.  Note
//   that the geometry of the polygon is not changed by this operation, just the labeling of its
//   vertices.  If the input polygon is 2d and is oriented opposite the reference then its point order is
//   flipped.
// Arguments:
//   reference = reference polygon path
//   poly = input polygon to reindex
// Example(2D):  The red dots show the 0th entry in the two input path lists.  Note that the red dots are not near each other.  The blue dot shows the 0th entry in the output polygon
//   pent = subdivide_path([for(i=[0:4])[sin(72*i),cos(72*i)]],30);
