[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #63646] Long creation times for sparseimages.m in manual due to -svgconvert option to print

[Markus Mützel]

Follow-up Comment #24, bug #63646 (project octave):

> the octave_polygon::mergepoly (step 2, the expensive part of the merge job)
is only useful for patch and surface objects, so maybe an alternative would be
to always apply step 1 and condition step 2 on the option you propose to add.

Sorry. I didn't realize that the "reconstruct" option covered more than the
step we were looking at (merging of possible non-consecutive polygons).
Your alternative suggestion of adding an option to skip only the second step
(octave_polygon::mergepoly) sounds reasonable to me. Maybe setting
"reconstruct" to 2 could be used to select that mode?
Or re-arrange to:
0: no reconstruction
1: basic reconstruction with merging consecutive polygons
2: thorough reconstruction with an attempt to merge as many polygons as
possible.
