[rttopo-dev] Graph Theory vs rttopo

[Brian M Hamlin]

With the name 'topo', connectivity of nodes must be an important design direction here. 
Perhaps some naming decisions early could make the library more usable and clear .. 

for example, distance (d) in graph theory is the number of "hops" between nodes, yet geodata constantly refers to distance as a 2D (or more) measure. What kinds of naming could make this fundamental distinction clear, for everyday use ? Are there other naming examples, moving away from graph theory, towards more applied geodata ?
