The problem is allowing for all possible cases, and choosing the required boundary. Already it is necessary to ask the user which of the two possible transition hands are needed. To illustrate the scope for trouble, what should Templot do with a case like this: 2_230816_040000000.png where the nearest original boundary is actually within the transition zone, where the rails would not align. Whereas extending the template all the way round to the other boundary produces a somewhat unlikely result. In many cases only the user knows what he is doing, so Templot leaves it to him to create what he wants. Provided two templates are on the same alignment, it doesn't actually matter if they overlap slightly, or there is a slight gap between them, at the boundary. So shortening or extending the transition template ...
