/*! \class UntangleBetaQualityMetric
  \brief The untangle beta quality metric.

  Given a scalar value beta and local signed element volume alpha_i,
  define delta_i to be alpha_i minus beta.  The Untangle beta value
  is then defined as square root of the sum over sample points
  of the absolute value of delta_i minus delta_i, difference squared.
  That is, the root mean square of the difference, abs(delta_i) minus
  delta_i.

  The constructor defaults to RMS AveragingMethod and
  ELEMENT_VERTICES evaluationMode.  The default beta value is
  .05.
