Quite right Flavio - we stand corrected - it's too early in the morning here
for brains to have got into gear!

hi all

sorry to be a bit "picky", but there is a bit of mix of terms here: It
is not "mixed topography" and it is not "mixed topology" - it is
just "mixed geometry types" (points, lines, polygons and text).

topography: description or representation of the features and
configuration of land surfaces - such as "look & feel"

topology: branch of mathematics, formerly known as analysis situs, that
studies patterns of geometric figures involving position and relative
position without regard to size - such as "relation from one object to
another" (as inside, contains, joins ...)

Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards
Flavio Hendry
