Dear Developers,
The formal review of the Boost.Polygon library by Lucanus Simonson starts today, August 24, 2009 and will finish September 2, 2009.
I really hope to see your vote and your participation in the discussions on the Boost mailing lists!
Lucanus, can you provide rationale for why you chose to define redundant operators for the polygonal boolean operations? http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/gtl/doc/gtl_polygon_set_concept.htm Shows both operator| and operator+ as being the same thing - a boolean OR between two polygons. If there is some precedent for this, I accept, but if there isn't, I would much rather prefer a single way of doing things. I suggest dropping operator+ and operator*. Their counterparts make much more sense to me. Hopefully I'll have a chance to look at this library more in depth in the next few days. --Michael Fawcett
