Gilles Sadowski commented on GEOMETRY-88:
-----------------------------------------
If you see drawbacks, feel free to revert.
It could be useful to document (how the concepts are different) in the Javadoc
and/or userguide.
> Revert Facet to ConvexSubPlane name change
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: GEOMETRY-88
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEOMETRY-88
> Project: Apache Commons Geometry
> Issue Type: Task
> Reporter: Matt Juntunen
> Priority: Major
>
> GEOMETRY-81 changed the name of the {{ConvexSubPlane}} class to {{Facet}}.
> However, after working more with this, I've come to believe that this is not
> actually a good name choice for a couple of reasons:
> 1. It implies that the subhyperplane lies on the boundary of a region, which
> is very often not the case (as GEOMETRY-74 reinforces).
> 2. It prevents us from using the name {{Facet}} for more relevant objects
> related to 3D modeling.
> So, I think we should revert this name change.
