--- Comment #3 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalroz1 at gmx.com> ---
> The term "quadratic" means mathematically "power 2", e.g. 5^2.

Actually, it means "square-ish" or "square-related". Quadratic equations, while
involving powers of 2, are named after squares.

That being said...

* I agree that the changes Regina suggested are a clear improvement over the
current choice of names.

* I don't like most of the existing names. They are not sufficiently
descriptive; their semantics don't agree ("axial" is not the opposite of
"radial") and it's probably not even possible to properly describe the
gradiants with just a single word. We also have a lot of drop-down box
real-estate for a longer phrase, so maybe that should be considered.
