Should JoinPoints be changed to FusePoints?

Should JoinPoints be changed to FusePoints, or UnitePoints, because
join points means form a line between two points (or more if there is sequence data in the selection set)? "Join" has also been misused elsewhere so if we change join to a more appropriate word it should be done consistently. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

I don't have a strong opinion on this one; I've added an item to the issue tracker to review plugin names before the 0.8 release. It would be great to have a list of proposed changes in-hand, as long as you and Joe agree, I'll just apply the changes.

I could probably help to suggest a name if I understood precisely what the operation was. Is it equivalent to the common "Merge Vertices" operation (sometimes also called "weld"). For example, if we started with two points selected, and appled "JoinPoints", would we then have only one point? If so, I would recommed "merge" or "weld" which are the words I've seen in the majority of programs. "Fuse" would make sense too, since its basically the same, but as always, I'd suggest to go with the most commonly word, provided it makes sense. Personally, my choice would be "weld". However, if the modifier does something different, we should definitely not use those words, as it would be very confusing!

I vote for WeldPoints as well, even though it's my fault it's called JoinPoints now ;) Cheers, -- Bart ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

> Yep, that's what it does! Why don't we break it down to two functions?. First, we have maybe a "connect" function that takes a group of points, a, and connect them to a single point, b. Connect here will make a spline between all the points, group a to the point, b. We then can use a "simplify" function if we want to remove the extra points that are maybe not needed. The simplify function simplifies the spline and removes points that are not needed to represent the shape of the spline. If we really want to remove critical points, like maybe a "union/weld" function would do, we would have to delete these points manually. I think such a function is very little used compared to a "connect" function. -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s t n m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact sip:b0ef@ e e jid:b0ef@ n n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.

For example, if we started with two points > selected, and appled "JoinPoints", would we then have only one point? I don't think such a function should work if the points don't occupy the same space. It would be more sensible to connect the points, then use a delete function on the points you don't want. -- Esben Stien is b0ef@e s a http://www. s t n m irc://irc. b - i . e/%23contact sip:b0ef@ e e jid:b0ef@ n n ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
