[Cuis-dev] Renaming several fundamental Morph classes

Hi all,

In that case how about EdgedMorph or RimmedMorph instead of BorderedBoxedMorph? 😊

Yes. This was the rationale behind MovableMorph. A morph you (or code)
can move around.

I think not. Layouts control locations (and extents, if present).

Agreed.

The graph sets the space (the coordinate system) for the functions it shows. Each function can't and shouldn't be moved. If you move the sin(x) function 1 upwards, it becomes sin(x)+1, and that's a different function. So it is for morphs that can't be moved at all.
