Center = X(1:3);
Radius = X(4);
N = size(Vertices,2); % number of vertices
OneN = ones(1,N); % convenient vector of ones

% two cases here. 'Scalar' attempts to fit the weighting scalar function between
%  the true surface and the spherical surface. The problem is a strong dependency
%  on surface normals that appears to skew the spheres. Theoretical assumption flaw
%  may be that the fictitious currents are not that similar.
%  'Weights' instead simply fits a sphere to the vertices, but uses the Scalar function 
%  to weight the least-squares fit.
%  Need to test more formally

% leave one uncommented:
%switch 'Scalar'
switch 'Weights'
  
case 'Scalar'
  
  % First synthesize the normals as vectors passing from the center through the vertices  
  [ignore,Normals] = colnorm(Vertices - Center(:,OneN)); 
  
  % then synthesize vertices as points on the sphere  
  Vertices = Radius * Normals + Center(:,OneN);
  
  % now calculate the weighting scalar to the sphere points
  SphereSc = weighting_scalar(Loc,Orient,Weight,Vertices,Normals);
  
  % now calculate the least-squares error between the two scalar sets
  err = sum((TrueSc - SphereSc).^2);
  
case 'Weights'
  
  % Scale the true scalar to be a weighting function
  Weights = abs(TrueSc)/sum(abs(TrueSc)); % don't care about sign.
  
  % extracted from sphererr.m
  b = Vertices - Center(:,OneN);  % data - estimated center
  
  % form distances to center estimate
  b = sqrt(sum(b.^2))'; % col vector of distances
  r = sum(b.*Weights); % average distance weighted by Scalar
  
  % squared error, weighted by scalars
  err = ((b-r).*Weights).^2; % squared error between distances and sphere
  % map for informative purposes
  SphereSc = err;
  err = sum(err); % sum squared error
  
  Radius = r; % overrides what the user sent
