#321 closed defect (fixed)

Inconsistency - (di)graphCopy vs copyPath

Description

There is an annoying inconsistency in the current releases (1.0, 1.1): we have functions graphCopy() and copyPath(). Moreover the order of their parameters also differ: graphCopy(from, to) and copyPath(to, from).

More than one year ago, we decided to modify the 0.x version of graph copying functions: copyGraph(to, from) --> graphCopy(from, to), see #150. However, we were not careful enoguh, the path copying tools should have been modified, as well.

What could/should we do with this problem after we have released these tools with inconsistent interfaces?

We could introduce pathCopy(from, to) and keep copyPath(to, from) as an obsolete solution without showing it in the doc (just for backward compatibility).

I agree. We may even leave it in the doc with a proper remark that it is deprecated.
