This topic provides a reference table for all automatic type conversions to textdot, sorted by merit.

Plausible Conversions

This section lists all plausible conversions to the textdot type. A 'Plausible' conversion indicates a non-straightforward, but a still reasonable conversion between two types that share a salient quality, or where one is an obvious sub-type of the other. For example curves and intervals, or points and planes. Any plausible conversion can also be achieved through the explicit use of standard components.

Weird Conversions

This section lists all weird conversions to the textdot type. A 'Weird' conversion indicates an exotic relationship between types which is almost certainly unintended on the part of the user. However, very occasionally these conversions make sense and allow the user to avoid the use of several components to achieve the same result. Examples in this category include conversions between planes and integers, or points and intervals.
