/**
@brief Compress vertex indices
@param indices  Index array
@return Index range, type and compressed index array

This function takes index array and outputs them compressed to smallest
possible size. For example when your indices have maximum number 463, it's
wasteful to store them in array of 32bit integers, array of 16bit integers is
sufficient.

Example usage:

@snippet MagnumMeshTools-gl.cpp compressIndices

@see @ref compressIndicesAs()
*/
std::tuple<Containers::Array<char>, MeshIndexType, UnsignedInt, UnsignedInt> MAGNUM_MESHTOOLS_EXPORT compressIndices(const std::vector<UnsignedInt>& indices);

/**
@brief Compress vertex indices as given type

The type can be either @ref Magnum::UnsignedByte "UnsignedByte",
@ref Magnum::UnsignedShort "UnsignedShort" or @ref Magnum::UnsignedInt "UnsignedInt".
Values in the index array are expected to be representable with given type.

Example usage:

@snippet MagnumMeshTools.cpp compressIndicesAs

@see @ref compressIndices()
