Topic: Tag Alias: rectangular_pupils -> horizontal_pupils

Aliasing rectangular_pupils → horizontal_pupils
Link to alias

Reason:

Was about to make this mistake myself before searching the tags to check if there was a more proper term. I could see this mistake being relatively easy to make, so it should be aliased away just in case. As well, I could see people assuming that this sort of trait is exclusive to frogs or goats and tagging as such, so frog_pupils and goat_pupils should be aliased away as well just as a precaution.

-1 rectangules can be both horizontal or vertical

also rectangles are squares with unequal sides so it would make more sence for it to be aliased to square_pupils...

Wrong way around. A square is a rectangle whose height is equal to its length.

What I read was that they are plane figures (skipping obvious) in contrast to the other. As in, neither borrow from the other in terminology, they are both "unique".

That's usually how shapes are taught, keep them separate so people don't start mixing them up. Technically speaking:

  • polygon (multi-sided shape with straight sides)
    • tetragon/quadrilateral (A 4-sided polygon)
      • parallelogram (A tetragon where every side is parallel to another)
        • rectangle (A parallelogram where all angles are 90°)
          • square (A rectangle where all sides are the same length)

Case of the cup half full or half empty, they both mean the same thing, there is no wrong here. Discussing schematics while completly missing the subject of the thread.

PS: square is a parallelogram where all angles are 90°
