Description

For some algorithms, it is needed to visit each node and perhaps do some work there and then move on, in other words iterate through them. I implemented this myself (although a rough approach) so I just wanted to open an issue and see if this would be a welcomed addition before I clean up my code and adhere to the contribution guidelines / style.

An example of a need for this is orienting normals on a surface, see Surface Reconstruction from Unorganized Points section 3.3.

  4. Open a pull request that references the issue number.

Research direction

The issue names no files or tests. Start by clarifying the iterator's traversal behavior and API against the stated surface-normal use case, then review the contribution guidelines and style. Done should be an accepted iterator addition with coverage showing that each node can be visited.
