Rename Smashed #12

Open mfansler opened 11 years ago

I think we could choose a better name for the case class which wraps a Graphic in an arbitrarily specifiable bounds. The current name, Smashed, sounds appropriate for that specific constructor which removes the dimensionality of the object (w=0; h=0), but the class itself has a much wider range of manipulations, such as adding padding, translating the bounding box away from the Graphic, etc..

The best alternative I've thought of so far is Bound, which, as a present tense verb, would make it consistent with Freeze, Transform, Composite, Name, etc..

Any thoughts?

Maybe Shift ? because we use bound a lot.

mfansler commented 11 years ago

Shift has a translational connotation. We need something that implies both the ability to contract and expand the boundaries.

Rebound? Rebase?
