Theres an inconsistency I noticed yesterday maybe someone here knows
whats going on...
We have many functions that get a float value that represents one
points position between 2 others.
./source/blender/blenlib/intern/math_geom.c
dist_squared_to_line_segment_v2() - uses `labda`
closest_to_line_v2() - uses `lambda`
./source/blender/blenkernel/intern/curve.c
cu_isectLL() - uses `labda`
./source/blender/blenkernel/intern/dynamicpaint.c
dynamicPaint_findNeighbourPixel() - uses `lambda`
In the context of point-along-segment-scalar, anyone know which ones
correct? (or at least a convention).
It looks like lambda term was added later and a typo of labda, but I
can't find anything online which mentions labda being used in this
context.
