(1) Leave it as designs.ProjectivePlaneDesign but have an option type = "Desarguesian" as the default argument (2) change it to designs.ProjectivePlaneDesignDesarguesian (Sorry, Nathann, I sort of agree with Dima here. However, I do not like designs.DesarguesianProjectivePlaneDesign, for the same reason that I prefer plot_implicit to implicit_plot, but that doesn't mean it gets implemented:-) > Nathann > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "sage-devel" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > Visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
