Hi, in reference to the recent discussion raised by didou about a &type.int/float; in the image-graph-docs I wonder how this should be documented in phpdoc. We could surely define all these occurences as type mixed, however I don't think this is a benefit to the documentation. But mentioning only int or float also makes no sense, since the function can accept both without problems - despite other functions that maybe demand an int. A similar question appeared to me at places where either an int or a string may be supplied. What's the best way to document this? Using mixed everywhere and just giving "mixed here means int or string" in the comment doesn't sound like a good solution for me.
Why don't you simply add a &type.number; entity ? didou
