Description
The current documentation for tangent vector fields says they should be specified using the methods setVertexTangentBasisX and addVertexIntrinsicVectorQuantity. See for instance the example on this page: https://polyscope.run/structures/surface_mesh/vector_quantities/#tangent-vectors
However, these methods seem to longer exist. Another method, addVertexTangentVectorQuantity, appears in the codebase but is not documented or used in the examples. (Note that gc-polyscope-project-template also uses the seemingly defunct methods.)
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with the tangent vector documentation at the linked surface-mesh page and compare its examples with the current codebase. Check the status of setVertexTangentBasisX, addVertexIntrinsicVectorQuantity, and addVertexTangentVectorQuantity, then update the documentation and examples so they use the current interface consistently.
