Example 1
 
A simple example demonstrating the main drawback 
 of the regular discrete Fréchet morphing 
which keeps the long leash after hitting the maximum 
length. The retractable discrete version on the other 
hand happily yields the "correct" result.

Animation: Fréchet morphing
 
This is the animation of the morphing computed 
 that is both continuous and monotone.
Animation: VE Retractable Fréchet
 
This is the animation of the VE retractable morphing. It is potentially not monotone (but it is continuous.

Specifically, to get a smooth animation, the 
 leash is shown as moving continuously, by 
 interpolating between the discrete locations.
