double vs float constructors on ROIs

[CARL Philippe (LBP)]

Dear all,
Playing with different ROI constructors, I saw that:
        - Line has a        double constructor, but no float
        - PolygonRoi has a float[] constructor, but no double[]
        - PointRoi   has a double  constructor, but no float
                   and a float[] constructor, but no double[]
...
Is there a reason for this differences?
Wouldn't it be better to have both double and float constructor for the
different ROIs classes?
My best regards,
Philippe

Having both float and double constructors and methods was a mistake. It complicates the API and causes the dreaded "Can't unambiguously select between fixed arity signatures” JavaScript error.
