Hi ZhouShuangJiang,

> Yes, I've seen the changes. The points_view/copy_policy is a good idea for things like box and segment, except the copy_policy seems to make extra copy of the box/segment while being constructed. Is it intended?

Fixed now.

Besides this I also fixed/implemented the point_order on a box_view, if 
you specify Reverse it is counter clockwise, as expected. Closure might 
complete it (but requires another copy-policy and an adapted approach).

OK, we will think / discuss about this.

Thanks, Barend
