------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Feb 6 22:51:14 +0000 2007 ------- Excellent proposal! I would like to suggest a change to try and make the connect operation as simple as possible. If the user selects one head and one tail, then the direction of the resulting line after connecting is unambiguous. If the user wishes to join head-to-head or tail-to-tail, extra steps are required to select and reverse one line. This is likely to be a difficult task: many users are not aware that lines have a direction; likewise, they will not anticipate the need to reverse one line. They may be frustrated that the connect operation is not available. Once all those pre-requisites are met, it requires a mental exercise to determine which line has to be reversed to produce the desired result. In many cases, the direction of the line is irrelevant to the user, so that all this effort will be pure distraction from the task at hand. So I propose that when the user has selected two heads or two tails, that Draw should choose the resulting direction based on the order the points are selected in, or if the points were selected simultaneously, the order that the two lines were created in. This would be equivalent to the steps in the spec, where the direction of one line must be reversed by the user before the connection operation is allowed, except that Draw would apply the reversing operation automatically. If this is not practical, e.g. because there is no support for determining which point is selected first, then perhaps the spec could be written so as to be implemented in steps, with this behavior as the longer-term goal. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
