function [elist,nextfront]=advancefront(edges,loop,elen)

% [elist,nextfront]=advancefront(edges,loop,elen)
%
% advance an edge-front on an oriented surface to the next separated by
% one-element width
%
% author: Qianqian Fang, <q.fang at neu.edu>
% date: 2012/02/09
%
% input:
%      edges: edge list of an oriented surface mesh, must be in CCW order
%      loop: a 2-column array, specifying a closed loop in CCW order
%      elen: node number inside each element, if ignored, elen is set to 3
%
% output:
%      elist: list of triangles that is enclosed between the two
%             edge-fronts
%      nextfront: a new edge loop list representing the next edge-front
