Hi, congrats on the registration! Can I suggest a more specific package name like PlottingDimensions?

[co1emi11er2]

I don't want to be that specific. I will be using this to get spacings and angles as well. It isn't only for plotting. I personally like the name but may be open to other names if you have any?

[gdalle]

The issue is that when I see Dimensions.jl I immediately think it will be something like Unitful.jl. So I would suggest making the connection to plots more obvious

[co1emi11er2]

Doing a quick google search.. This is the first website that popped up on bing: https://www.dimensions.com/

Also first definition on webster:

However, I did just think of TapeMeasure.jl. Although, I think it doesn't quite encompass angles. It is probably okay though. Thoughts?

[co1emi11er2]

All of the functions have the word dimension though. I like the name TapeMeasure.jl. I just think Dimensions.jl is most intuitive, especially for those in my area of work.

What about UnitfulDimensions, if that package is your main source of objects?

[co1emi11er2]

Well I have another package called StructuralUnits that will be the main source for people around me when using units. It can also be used without units. I don't want to really be tied to Unitful (even though I love Unitful).

[co1emi11er2]

Would you prefer the name TapeMeasure.jl?

[gdalle]

Personally I would, but we can also see what other lurkers are thinking
