[df26b81] | 12 | <ul> |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 13 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 14 | <li>sort out XSECT - I'm sure I meant there to be 1 and 2 byte forms, not 2 |
---|
| 15 | and 4 - 4 byte is only useful if a passage dimension is > 327.67m! |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 16 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 17 | <li>store equated stations in some way |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 18 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 19 | <li>store legs by end stations rather than repeating coordinates over and |
---|
| 20 | over? |

[ac3f376] | 25 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 26 | <ul> |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 27 | |
---|
[ce77e4f] | 28 | <li>Compare HPGL export with what printhpgl used to give. |
---|
| 29 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 30 | <li>loading a .3d file with no survey data (or which has a valid header but is broken later) with a survey already loaded doesn't work well. |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 31 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 32 | <li>After keyboard controlled movement, the measuring line/circle doesn't |
---|
| 33 | reappear until the mouse is moved (e.g. plan/elevation transition with P/L). |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 34 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 35 | <li>Fix depth clipping on grid |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 36 | |
---|
[ac3f376] | 37 | <li>Does anyone use Controls->"Reverse Sense"? It made some sense with |
---|
| 38 | caverot but now seeing the mouse pointer makes people expect the default |
---|
| 39 | motions (for right button drag particularly). |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 40 | |
---|
[ce77e4f] | 41 | <li>Clean up export.cc and allow line width, etc to be specified |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 42 | |
---|
| 43 | <li>Better handling of missing LRUD values |
---|
| 44 | |
---|
| 45 | <li>Smooth wrinkles in presentation code (stop pres on Open or |
---|
| 46 | New, changing focus on listctrl as presentation plays doesn't really work |
---|
| 47 | properly) |
---|
| 48 | |
---|
| 49 | <li>Draw the measuring line directly onto the front buffer, so we can remove it |
---|
| 50 | with a copy from the back buffer and redraw it in the new position without a |
---|
| 51 | re-render. |
---|
| 52 | |
---|
| 53 | <li>Process all pending input before rerendering to improve responsiveness. |
---|
| 54 | |
---|
| 55 | <li>Check timing code - we need to glFinish to ensure it's all drawn, and that |
---|
| 56 | may be needed to get meaningful timing info. |
---|
| 57 | |
---|
[85ed935] | 58 | <li>Add "colour by survey" - colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix): |
---|
| 59 | maybe "aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in |
---|
| 60 | lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours... |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 61 | |
---|
| 62 | <li>Implement "Skip blank pages" in aven printing |
---|
| 63 | |
---|
| 64 | <li>different keyboard layouts mean that some key choices don't make much sense... |
---|
| 65 | |
---|
[549eb37] | 66 | <li>File->Extended Elevation - provide a way to specify a spec file? Or |
---|
| 67 | better a UI to control the extending. |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 68 | |
---|
| 69 | <li>Optional lazy label redraw during drags? Or turn on at some redraw time |
---|
| 70 | threshold... |
---|
| 71 | |
---|
| 72 | <li>Some way to view older/newer version of survey |
---|
| 73 | |
---|
| 74 | <li>Label lengths aren't considered when working out image size when |
---|
| 75 | printing so a long label can spill off the edge of the printout |
---|
| 76 | |
---|
[df26b81] | 77 | <li>print to an image file? |
---|
[f39a2e8] | 78 | |
---|
| 79 | <li>grid on printouts |
---|
| 80 | <ul> |
---|
| 81 | <li>grid crosses option (only draw cross at intersections, not a full grid). |
---|
| 82 | <li>[(x,y) of a point to go through (easting, northing) |
---|
| 83 | <li>x spacing, y spacing (default to x spacing) |
---|
| 84 | <li>orientation (bearing of y-axis?) (defaults to 0)] |
---|
| 85 | </ul> |
---|
| 86 | |
---|
| 87 | <li>Profile aven further (for both speed and memory usage) |
---|
| 88 | |
---|
| 89 | <li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused |
---|
| 90 | fixed points)? |
---|
| 91 | |
---|
| 92 | <li>label junctions/dead ends? |
---|
| 93 | |
---|
| 94 | <li>section colouring/selective labelling |
---|
| 95 | |
---|
| 96 | <li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on |
---|
| 97 | centre on rotation I think. |
---|
| 98 | |
---|
| 99 | <li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up |
---|
| 100 | window or the info panel). |
---|
[e03199f] | 101 | |
---|
[27b8b59] | 102 | <li>check on monochrome, 16, and 256 colour displays - especially that depth |
---|
| 103 | colouring looks OK |
---|
[0e26b3a] | 104 | |
---|
[a8e9fde] | 105 | <li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot? Or perhaps best |
---|
| 106 | not to? It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not... |
---|
| 107 | Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that |
---|
| 108 | it depends on the redraw? |
---|
[df26b81] | 109 | |
---|
| 110 | <li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure. |
---|
| 111 | |
---|
| 112 | <li>If multiple methods for drawing crosses and/or blobs pass the |
---|
| 113 | visual fidelity check, check which is fastest. |
---|
| 114 | |
---|
| 115 | <li>Lots of aven things need documenting. |

[0e26b3a] | 186 | <li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape) |
