Locking vertices and edges instead/in addition to the selection about pmp-library

[dsieger]

Hi,

Thanks for your suggestion. I am hesitating a bit though. It seems this would be an alternative way to achieve the same result as currently possible through the selection property. For sake of simplicity, we generally prefer to have a single way to achieve a certain result.

However, I do agree that our "implicit" usage of internal properties is not optimal, and we might change this in a future release.

Thanks,
Daniel

Re-visiting this issue: We'll keep things simple and consistent: Using selections is the way to restrict the application of an algorithm. It's already used in several places. Introducing another way to achieve the same result would lead to additional maintenance burden and potential issues (prioritization of selection vs locking).

Thanks,
Daniel
