In this example toy data is being processed using the Isomap algorithm
as described in

Before applying to the data the landmark approximation is enabled with 
specified number of landmarks. The landmark approximation is described in

Sparse multidimensional scaling using landmark points
V De Silva, J B Tenenbaum (2004) Technology, p. 1-4

After enabling the landmark approximation k parameter -- the number 
of neighbors in the k nearest neighbor graph -- is initialized.
