ColorKeyword.fs issues

Open GarryPatchett opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Description

There are some colour keywords in Plotly.NET/CommonAbstractions/ColorKeyword.fs that I think are slightly wrong, in relation to how they are here: https://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp

The list below shows: existing name – proposed name (reason for reporting).

Darkolivegreen – DarkOliveGreen (Capitalisation) Honeydew – HoneyDew (Capitalisation) Hotpink – HotPink (Capitalisation) LightAalmon – LightSalmon (Spelling) LightAeaGreen – LightSeaGreen (Spelling) LightAkyBlue – LightSkyBlue (Spelling) LightAlateGray – LightSlateGray (Spelling) LightslateGrey – LightSlateGrey (Capitalisation, and repeated as LightAlateGray, and missing from ofRGB function) Skyblue -SkyBlue (Capitalisation)

I don’t know the best way to ‘fix’ these but I thought I’d mention it.

Hey @GarryPatchett thanks for reporting this, it is indeed not intended, at least not the spelling mistakes. I tried to go with .NET naming convention regarding the capitalization, and since DUs cannot be lowercase in F# anyways, we cannot name them with a 100% match.

I don’t know the best way to ‘fix’ these but I thought I’d mention it.

To keep the current version backwards-compatible, the way to go would be adding the correctly named cases and keeping the wrong ones (with an Obsolete tag) there until we do a major version increase and can do breaking changes.

If you want to try and cook up a PR that'd be awesome, otherwise i'll pick this up in the somewhat near future 😉

Thanks for getting in touch.

My experience with Git/GitHub is very limited and I would be worried that I would make some horrible mistake and ruin things, and don’t really want to risk messing up such important code.

I’m happy to leave this to someone who knows what they are doing rather than me blundering around, bumping into the furniture and knocking expensive vases to the floor.

I’d be happy to learn how to do it but that would probably lead to a lot of step-by-step ‘hand-holding’ which may not be the best use of someone else’s time.
