Carlos, I think you right here. We can't use "Origin" as Vertex subparameter name. Origin is aways defined by the green ducks(handles/control points) and if we will use "Origin" for brown ones too - that would be inconsistent. And in fact, i have noticed that we already have some misterious subparameter, called "Origin" (it's "real" type). I'm puzzled what does it mean. ^__^" Considering all this I prefer to support your approach: Vertex -> Vertex BLinePoint -> Spline Item What I don't like much is an "item" word. "Spline Point" sounds better for my taste. I know your reasons against "point" word, but still it's easier to use in writing: "Spline is constructed of Spline Points. Each Spline Point defined by a vertex, tangents and some other stuff (like width data)." For my taste the sentence above sounds better than "Spline is constructed of Spline Items. Each Spline Item defined by a vertex, tangents and some other stuff (like width data)." 2012/5/27 Nikita Kitaev <nikita...@gmail.com>: > The tool names that actually confuse me are Sketch vs. Draw.

There's already one proposal by Timothee - https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=3529956&group_id=144022 2012/5/27 Nikita Kitaev <nikita...@gmail.com>: > 3. > Similarly to "shape", I don't think that "handle" would be confused > for a verb.

I know, it's all sounds reasonable. But when I starting to write this word in documentation - it just don't fits well. it's just my feeling. 2012/5/27 Nikita Kitaev <nikita...@gmail.com>: > 4. > About embedding files on import: the SIF file format isn't designed to > embed raster images inside of it.

Of course embedding is not possible at the moment and it's different task. Though, there's some work is going on development of "Packed SIF" format. Something similar to ODT. But it's still a long way to go.
