[squeak-dev] Possible deprecations in Point and Collection

Hey,

u:v: are common synonyms for x:y: in 3d software when it comes to texture coordinates: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_mapping
Various 3D-related packages rely on this being defined and since we don't have a "general 3d extensions" package I think it will be rather hard for this to find a new home somewhere else.

Best,
Tom

Hi all,


r:degrees: is polar u:v is x:y: sending new instead of basicNew.

Polar coordinates are important to me, I have no opinion about the other.


Cheers, Herbert
