Remove Boolean arguments and add replace them by optional numerical values if possible

[pablo-angulo]

There seems to be no argument for setting area_max, just a bool for user input, which is totally awkward. Could you replace user input by a regular argument that we can set from within the code?

Seems that optional argument add_switches="a0.1" does the job, but a documented argument would be better. Honestly, a prompt for user input gives me the chill!

Dear @pablo-angulo,

Thank you for pointing this out. I am aware of this little inconvenience. This simple interface originated from a small project some years ago when there was no convenient interface to the C-library that does the actual work out there. This code solved my problem and in the hope that it would be useful to other people I shared it with the community. My time does not permit working on Julia code since my main projects are of totally different nature.

If you think this issue deserves a change you are welcome to improve the code, document it so every potential user will understand how to use it and submit a merge request. This is often the way how small open-source projects work.

Best,
Konrad

Fair enough. I just started with julia, but the task does not seem hard. Thanks for sharing and will give a shot

I just started. I'm not using visual studio but plain julia packages:

I hope I don't mess with your config. Before I continue, let me show you a little bit of the work, and please do tell me if it is ok:
