/*
    This is an example illustrating the use of the multiclass classification tools
    from the dlib C++ Library.  Specifically, this example will make points from
    three classes and show you how to train a multiclass classifier to recognize
    these three classes.

    The classes are as follows:
        - class 1: points very close to the origin
        - class 2: points on the circle of radius 10 around the origin
        - class 3: points that are on a circle of radius 4 but not around the origin at all
