    Work around exact float comparison bug in ligo-skymap-contour · dd090956
    Leo P. Singer authored
    We were using exact floating point comparison to map out the faces
    and vertices of HEALPix pixels. When a vertex that is shared
    between two faces had slightly different floating-point coordinate
    representations in different faces, contours were lost.
    
    In the new approach, we identify vertices by the set of faces that
    share them.
    
    Also, the `ligo-skymap-contour` tool got 10x faster thanks to an
    optimization that allows us to skip most pixels that are on the
    interior or exterior of the contour.
