I am struggling to improve Intersector that sometimes creates quads with
_almost_ colinear vertices. An obvious solution is to split quads into two
triangles, but this increase size of generated file. Converted the quad into a
single triangle by suppressing the aligned vertex is not an option imho since it
leaves a teeny gap (this also creates to T-junctions that should be avoided).
Question is, is it really annoying? LDDP at normal setting complains at a
threshold of 0.0001 (but I don't now really what is measured). LDview sets a
warning only for completely aligned vertices.
Is there any benefit of avoiding almost degenerated quads?

| (...) As far as I can see the threshold is the number of digits that are used to determine wheather a value is the same as the other. So if you use 6.0 and 6.0001 with a threshold of 0.0001 the value are interpreted to be the same. That makes sense (...) (16 years ago, 9-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad)
