Consistent Data Types aka Quality Control

Status: New

As CVI evolves (in age and functionality) I feel that additional efforts are required for maintaining the product, i.e, keeping it 'consistent' and avoiding a 'mosaic look' as if assembled by different engineers in different decades... Smiley Wink

 

A simple example but also one I would like to see resolved is entering data types in the UI editor vs in a function call (PlotIntensity in this case):

So, for example, long long translates to int64...  Why not simply use the identical terms??

 

I agree it could be worse but I also feel that this is a valid suggestion for future improvements...
