LSynth implement's Larry's string cross section (no use ducking Larry) to create
string using the hose synthesis class (this means splined strings with nice
smooth curves).

I think that a string type that uses pulleys as constraints is important too.
The two synthesis classes: hose and band (i.e. spline and arcs/tangents) are
separate things, yet string fits naturally into both.

The right answer is to allow synthesis for both classes.  To do this currently,
I need two names, one for splining and one for arc/tangent.  Also in arc/tangent
I'll have to allow elimination from the last constraint back to the first
constraint.

Anyone got any ideas for naming of these two implementations of string?
Alternate ideas?

(...) Umm... you REALLY should use a better string element than mine! It is really not very accurate as it doesn't model the three strands at all. It was just a quick hack, and it has fixed colors, if LEGO ever do red or white string it won't work. (...) (20 years ago, 26-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad)
