Tmap: Function's names - idea

[Nowosad]

@mtennekes Have you thought about unifying the function's names? Or maybe there is an idea behind them that I'm missing...
For example, right now most of the functions have prefix tm_, some have tmap_ (e.g. tmap_style), and there are a few without any prefix (e.g. save_tmap, last_map.

[mtennekes]

Yes and no:) The functions with a tm_ prefix are the layer functions, and all other functions are helper functions. The second group is indeed very inconsistent. There are about 6 tmap_ functions, two _tmap functions, and three other functions. We could rename them to tmap_ (while the old names still remain to be deprecated). What do you think?

My 5 cents: tmap_* for helper functions = good. The one I use most is tmap_mode. I think it would make it easier to find other helper functions if they also had a tmap prefix. In this scenario save_tmap would become tmap_save, a definite improvement in terms of usability I reckon.

[Nowosad]

Yes, I think that having just two groups of functions - tm_ and tmap_ - would be a very good improvement.

Thanks @mtennekes - should the issue be closed?

Yep
