+here, ``\Theta_i`` is the *signed* angle between ``\mathbf{c}_i - \mathbf{p}`` and ``\mathbf{c}_{i+1} - \mathbf{p}`` where ``\mathbf{c}_i`` and ``\mathbf{c}_{i+1}`` are two consecutive vertices on a curve.
 In 3D, we refer to the solid angle of an *oriented* triangle with respect to ``\mathbf{p}``.
 
 We provide the following methods to calculate ``w(\mathbf{p})``:
