Matt Juntunen commented on GEOMETRY-94:
---------------------------------------
{quote}Is this standard naming?
{quote}
It's standard as far as Apache Commons goes. The {{SubPlane}} class was
originally created in commons-math and this naming convention matches what's
used in other dimensions, eg {{SubOrientedPoint}}, {{SubLine}},
{{SubGreatCircle}}. This naming convention is derived from the
"hyperplane/sub-hyperplane" terminology used in our primary BSP tree reference
article: [http://www.cs.yorku.ca/~amana/research/bsptSetOp.pdf.] However, now
that I look at it again, I see the use of the hyphen in the name
"sub-hyperplane". I should probably change "subplane" in the documentation to
"sub-plane" (and "subline" to "sub-line", etc).
{quote}Wouldn't {{ConvexArea3D}} be clearer?
{quote}
I don't think so, given the reasons above.

> Key: GEOMETRY-94
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEOMETRY-94
> Project: Apache Commons Geometry
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Matt Juntunen
> Priority: Major
>
> There should be specific subclasses of {{ConvexSubPlane}} to allow for
> optimization and ease of use.
> - {{OpenConvexSubPlane}} - extends {{ConvexSubPlane}}; represents a convex
> subplane that is open on a least one side and has infinite size
> - {{ClosedConvexSubPlane}} - extends {{ConvexSubPlane}}; represents a convex
> subplane with finite size; the 2D subspace is a polygon
> - {{Triangle3D}} - extends {{ClosedConvexSubPlane}}; represents a triangle
> in 3D space; most 3D models are or can easily be represented with triangles
> so it would be good to have a dedicated class for this.
