OF Uniformity

[dimitre]

Uniformity between different functions, naming, parameter order helps the ease of use.
I'll list some suggestions related to this subject here:

• ofxSVG to ofxSvg #6906
• ofxXmlSettings loadFile / saveFile deprecation message #6944
• rename ofBufferToFile to ofSaveBuffer #6939
• fix order of ofSaveJson #6940
• TARGET_OF_IOS, TARGET_OF_WATCHOS, TARGET_ANDROID, TARGET_LINUX, TARGET_OSX
• ofStringReplace behaves differently from all other functions (result in a pointer instead of return)
• ofVideoGrabber listDevices, returning and printing #6858
• ofVideoPlayer isPlaying(), different behavior on ofVideoPlayer with or without Gstreamer #6527

I think that this should be added to this list as well #6527

About env detection macro,
TARGET_OF_IOS, TARGET_OF_WATCHOS, TARGET_ANDROID, TARGET_LINUX, TARGET_OSX and etc, etc...

maybe there is reason, but sometime I confuse about "why not all TARGET_OF_XXX or TARGET_XXX?"

Other thing I think it is strange is ofRectangle parameters is x, y, width, height (position and dimensions)
but if I use two glm::vec2 to initialize it I'm not talking anymore about position and dimension but of point 1 and point 2 (bounds)

GLFWWindow calls the window dimensions shape or size depending on getting or setting:
setWindowShape / getWindowSize
it also uses different types (glm::vec2 vs int, int)
