Hi Dmitry - yes, the two different methods are surely confusing. As
for the "wrong value", that very much depends on the mental model of
rectangles you're using. In a discrete geometry world (aka "pixel"),
the GetWidth() is correct. In a continuous geometry world (aka
"euclidean plane"), getWidth() is right.
Ho ;-) Should we perhaps have some better naming: 'getOuterWidth' vs.
'getWidth' or something ;-)
This fundamental, conceptual difference is the historical reason for
the two methods (admittedly, not a very clean solution to the
problem).
True - perhaps we should audit all calls of GetWidth on Rectangle to
see how many there are and update them if fewer than a couple of hundred
or so ?
ATB,
