    No irony, I didn’t say straight because I didn’t mean straight. I meant exactly what I said: you can get from one point to another without crossing a line. Because if you have to cross a line, you’ve either moved into a different shape (in the case of two adjoining shapes) or moves into empty space.

      That’s path connectedness. Convex shapes are ones in which any two points can be joined by a straight line internal to the shape.
