[Merkaartor] Aligning Nodes - confusing or broken?

[Janek Nugis]

Hi!
Hmm... Alining should work something like this - first two nodes selected should determine the line and all other nodes should be lined on the same line...
First and second node stays where they are and all other nodes align to north-south line the first node is on... I quess this is a bug

  The code is not mine, and while I can find very useful to be able to align nodes as to create straight roads, I'm not even sure that was the intent and in anyway, I'm as puzzled as you as how to use it.

    What does the menu command Nodes, Align do? I've found the source code
    for it [1], and I understand that the operation requires at least 3
    nodes selected, with the first two not at the same position. But all
    that angle arithmetics [2] in the code don't make any sense to me. Nor
    does the observable behaviour. When I select multiple nodes, the Align
    command seems to move some of them north/south of one of them and leaves
    one node where it was. This doesn't look useful to me.

    [1] Map/FeatureManipulations.cpp - alignNodes(...) - line 283
    [2] Map/Coord.cpp - rotate(...) - line 22
