Port position information duplicated

Closed this issue · 4 comments

A port is defined with an id and a position (x,y).
The arc which has a reference to a port, has also the position information (x,y).
Wouldn't be the reference enough?

This was discussed in an online meeting:

- to remove coordinates from the port would be least redundant

  • but arcs do not have to end exactly at a port, there may be a small gap

The current situation is redundant but works, so no action is taken for now.

It was agreed that it doesn't matter that much if position information for ports is stored duplicated in the file.
For the drawing of a map it might be even useful to have the position information for a port stored with the glyph and stored with the arc.
