Description

Toggle between optimal and sub-optimal (fast) linking methods.

How to use

If turned on, then when linking strings the wireframe will be created optimally with the best surface being selected from those that satisfy the linking criterion. If turned off the linking will be done with tag strings - either user supplied, or if none exist then the closest pair of points on the two strings after translation to a common centre of gravity will form an implicit tag string. Each pair of tag strings is linked independently. The speed advantage of the sup- optimal increases with an increasing number of string points. If the sub-optimal method fails then linking will default to the optimal method.
