[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51028] pkg geometry: function linePosition3d is missing from 2.1.1 distribution

[Juan Pablo Carbajal]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #51028 (project octave):

Hi,

Thanks for your reports.
no the packages ar enot identiacal. Indeed geometry defines itself as a fork
of matgeom, although we ar ein tight communication with David, we are slowly
diverging.

However, your problem comes fomr the workflow I was following in the past. I
ported th efunctions ot octave, meaning that befor eincluding them in geomtry
I would write a texinfo documentation. This was making the process to slow, so
since geomtry 3.0 I just test that the function works in octave stable, I
might write soem test and dmeos and then I add it to the package.
So it is expected that your problmes will be soon solved. If you can help to
this process you are welcome. Again the steps are:
1. check if the function from MatGeom works in Octave stable release
2. Write at least a demo
3. Write at least a test

2. and 3. are desired but optional.

>From time to time I do profile the functions that I use the most and improve
them, being in temrs of length of code, or speed. This usually propagates back
to matgeom.
