Feature to consider: Disable console messages (std::cerr) at will. about homog2d

[skramm]

Yep, that was something I did consider, but didn't think it would fit in the "important" category.
But, yes, thanks for pointing this out, I'll figure some way to disable/enable those warnings (only one at present, but could expand).
Yes, could be thought some build symbol, like HOMOG2D_NOCHECKS. But needs to be different, because users may want to keep runtime checkings but without bothering about such warnings.

I leave this issue open until fixed (should be fast).

Yes, yes, of course it doesn't fall into the "important" category. It is a rather minor detail. Don't worry. And in fact even I myself am able to get around the problem with my limited knowledge. 😀

There are other things, such as the concept of the "Unit Vector", that I have missed much more. Lines and segments lack "directionality", and so I had to find a way to obtain angles between "vectors" (-PI,+PI).

But I suspect that the decision not to work with vectors was deliberate on your part, and has to do with the homog2d philosophy. 🗼

ok, added HOMOG2D_NOWARNINGS build symbol, check https://github.com/skramm/homog2d/blob/master/docs/homog2d_manual.md#112---build-options (and define that symbol in your code), let me know if ok so I can close.

Exactly, that's the point ;-) Segments are just... segments, not vectors. Sure, adding a Vector type would ultimately be possible, but I can't elaborate on this at present, I'd rather spend time on improving/fixing the existing codebase.

I suspected as much. Anyway it's the main feature I've missed in homog2d. And I think it very much deserves to be included in your to-do list.

If you don't feel it as incompatible or alien in homog2d universe then I will open an issue to make formal request for that feature,

So at least it will have a chance to see the light of day. :-)

Thank you again, @skramm

PS:
And thank you very much for implementing HOMOG2D_NOWARNINGS, it looks great! I can't test it properly at the moment but as soon as I do you will hear from me. :-)

[DJuego]

Sorry for the delay!

I tested it yesterday and I can confirm that it seems to work great. :-D You can close this thread with the feature request fulfilled.

Again, thank you! 😘

Great!
About the directionality issue you mentioned, I have thought about some ideas, but I'm not sure I understand your needs. Don't hesitate to open an issue describing exactly the feature you think is missing, and how it could be used, from a user point of view.
