Matt Juntunen commented on GEOMETRY-94:
---------------------------------------
bq. I'm not suggesting to change those names at this point
Ok.
bq. something like PlanarConvexSubset might have been more adequate
That may be acceptable for the 3D case but it becomes a bit more difficult when
determining names for other dimensions and spaces. For example, what do you
call a subset of the points on a great circle in spherical 2D space? The
"Sub[Hyperplane name]" format can be used consistently throughout the library.

> 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.
