 | | Sorting by line —Orion Pobursky
|
| | | I'm implementing sorting in LDDP. Here's my question: Say I'm sorting by position using Y. When sorting linetypes 2-5 should I take the maximum Y, the minimum Y, the Y value of center of the triangle/quad/line, or something else entirely? -Orion (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) Should this be a dialog that pops up when sorting in initiated, in the program options, or something else? The current method I'm using moves all type 0 lines to the top. Should I simply delete them instead? Also, what about sort order? Should (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Might not be useful though. (...) Those are good, Also if you (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I personally think that having a dialog with all the sort options along with a quick way to apply the most recently used sort options might be the most flexible. That way, people who use the feature (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) IMO, it would be best with a dialog when sorting is requested. Remember all the settings from the last time sorting was used. (...) If there is no choice for the user, I'd say keep them at the top as you do now. A checkbox for removing them (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | (...) Another thought, maybe sorting on the center of the axis-aligned bounding box for the line? For lines this would be the center of the line but would it be the center of the tri or quad? My visualzation skills are elluding me at the moment. (...) (20 years ago, 16-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
