%PARSEMESHDATA Conversion of data representation for meshes.
%
%   MESH = parseMeshData(VERTICES, FACES)
%   MESH = parseMeshData(VERTICES, EDGES, FACES)
%   Returns the mesh info into a single structure with fields "vertices",
%   "edges" and "faces".
%
%   [VERTICES, FACES] = parseMeshData(MESH)
%   Returns the mesh info into two output variables containing coordinates
%   of vertices (as a Nv_by_3 array) and the list of vertex indices for
%   each face (either as a Nf-by-3 or Nf-by-4 int array, or as a cell
%   array).
%
%   [VERTICES, EDGES, FACES] = parseMeshData(MESH)
%   Also returns the vertex indices of each edge, as a Ne-by-2 array of
%   vertex indices.
