Raymond DeCampo commented on MATH-1284:
---------------------------------------
OK, I have made the change to {{Cartesian?D}}. I have also restored the
{{Vector?D}} as abstract classes which {{Cartesian?D}} extend - I thought that
would be easier on existing client code.
I also made an attempt to update the javadoc and supporting files.
Please take another look at the {{feature-MATH-1284}} branch for review.
> Vector is-not-a Point
> ---------------------
>
> Key: MATH-1284
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1284
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.5
> Reporter: Roman Werpachowski
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 4.0
>
>
> The class hierarchy for geometry claims that Vector is-a Point:
> https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-math/apidocs/org/apache/commons/math3/geometry/Point.html
> This is mathematically incorrect, see e.g.
> http://math.stackexchange.com/a/645827
> Just because they share the same numerical representation, Point and Vector
> shouldn't be crammed into a common class hierarchy.
