[jira] [Created] (GEOMETRY-81) Rename ConvexSubPlane to Facet

Matt Juntunen created GEOMETRY-81:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Rename ConvexSubPlane to Facet
                 Key: GEOMETRY-81
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEOMETRY-81
             Project: Apache Commons Geometry
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Matt Juntunen


The class name {{ConvexSubPlane}} is somewhat ungainly. The name {{Facet}} might be a better name for this class. This similar to how the convex subhyperplane class in 2D is named {{Segment}} and not "ConvexSubLine".

Pros:
- Shorter, more familiar name
- More consistency with the naming conventions of convex subhyperplanes in other dimensions (eg, Segment, GreatArc)

Cons:
- The name "facet" does not necessarily imply that the shape is convex. However, this is the common usage.
