Hi Pierre, it is just a not-yet-ready half-baked implementation of interval-arithmetic, i intend to use for some constrained optimization problems; essentially only a proof of concept thing as it does not take floating point errors into account, iow it does not guarantee that the true result is included in the interval. i dont know what a mesher is, but if you want to fill a circle or so with something like eg pixels, there exist far more efficient solutions than using such an extremely stupid general algo. while i need multidimensional algos - the two-dimensional case is just a simple test-example -, for two-dimensional geometric problems of any kind there practically always exist simpler faster solutions than for the multidimensional version. werner

What Clement says is that *conceptionally* it has a variyng size.

In this case however when the collection overflows you create a new orderedCollection so you need to use #become: to migrate references to the old orderedCollection to the new one. This used to be a bad idea because the become primitive was slow, but since we have Spur, it may be relevant to look at it again. This old implementation is more memory efficient too. And then, with the new fast #become:, we can go back the the old implementation and grow OrderedCollection using #become:, which would mean that we would not need two objects anymoreâ¦ Marcus

Ah yes exactly, I was not explaining it correctly as I am so used to it, sorry But it is good now, by the way I am interested in how you did this Werner, actually if it would be an easy and simple algorithm to fill a defined circle for example like a mesher.

That's because RTBox is just a shape, and shape doesn't have position. You need to apply it to an element (RTElement).
