Gilles, > "AffineMap" (?)
I think any name that doesn't include the word "transform" somehow would probably be confusing. > Was the same "Transform" interface used in both the "euclidean" and the "spherical" packages of "Commons Math"? Indirectly. SphericalPolygonsSet extended AbstractRegion, which included an applyTransform(Transform) method. -Matt ________________________________ From: Gilles Sadowski <gillese...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 7, 2020 10:29 AM To: Commons Developers List <dev@commons.apache.org> Subject: Re: [geometry] Rename Transform to AffineTransform Hello.
