basic_display_point is not defined in P0267R7

[arvidn]

I cannot find a definition of basic_display_point in P0267R7.pdf. Perhaps my pdf reader just doesn't find it when searching.

The reason I went looking for it is that it seems that this type is not used as a point. It's used to describe dimensions. i.e. the width and height of something, not a position in a coordinate space. It looks like it's consistently used to describe dimensions though, so the type-safety isn't compromised, but I find the name a bit unintuitive.

Thanks for the report!

the same thing goes for basic_dashes.

the definition now suggest that basic_display_point is a point, but as far as I can tell, it's only ever used to describe the dimensions (i.e. width and height) of things. "point" does not seem like an appropriate name.

Unless of course it does in fact describe the position of one corner of a surface or view, (perhaps with the opposite corner defined to be at (0,0)). Then it would also make sense fort a basic_display_point to be (-100, -100), to flip the coordinate space of the view or surface. From what I gather from the paper so far it's not meant to represent the position of a corner, but only positive distances of the width and height.

I'm sorry, I haven't read the paper cover to cover (yet), so I may have misunderstood something.

Took care of basic_dashes a little while ago, but thanks!
