function [newno, newfc] = remeshsurf(node, face, opt)
%
% [newno,newfc]=remeshsurf(node,face,opt)
%
% remesh a triangular surface and the output is guaranteed to be
% free of self-intersecting element. This function is similar to
% meshresample, but it can both downsample or upsample a mesh

% input:
%    node: list of nodes on the input suface mesh, 3 columns for x,y,z
%    face: list of trianglular elements on the surface, [n1,n2,n3,region_id]
%    opt: function parameters
%      opt.gridsize:  resolution for the voxelization of the mesh
%      opt.closesize: if there are openings, set the closing diameter
%      opt.elemsize:  the size of the element of the output surface
%      if opt is a scalar, it defines the elemsize and gridsize=opt/4
%
% output:
%    newno:  list of nodes on the resulting suface mesh, 3 columns for x,y,z
%    newfc:  list of trianglular elements on the surface, [n1,n2,n3,region_id]
