|---|
| 12 | <ul> |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| [5aa0d75] | 14 | <li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on: |
|---|
| 15 | <pre> |
|---|
| 16 | 1 2 50000 0 - |
|---|
| 17 | 1 2 5 0 -30 |
|---|
| 18 | </pre> |
|---|
| [0e26b3a] | 19 | |
|---|
| [12d0d1b] | 20 | <li>aven: 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. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| [3ede867] | 22 | <li>img.c: eliminate duplicate img_LABELs when reading .PLT files. |
|---|
| 23 | |
|---|
| [5bcd880] | 24 | <li>multiple readings: |
|---|
| 25 | <p> |
|---|
| 26 | average bearings specially - they don't average like normal numbers |
|---|
| 27 | <p> |
|---|
| 28 | %age gradients should probably average the same as angle gradients |
|---|
| 29 | <p> |
|---|
| 30 | Document - works like so: |
|---|
| 31 | <pre> |
|---|
| 32 | *set open { |
|---|
| 33 | *set close } |
|---|
| 34 | *calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25} |
|---|
| 35 | 1 2 10.23 {000 001} -02 |
|---|
| 36 | 2 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05} |
|---|
| 37 | 3 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03} |
|---|
| 38 | </pre> |
|---|
| [b548758] | 39 | Implement as extension to number format so any suitable numeric value to be |
|---|
| 40 | repeated? |
|---|
| [b6de07d] | 41 | </ul> |

|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | <ul> |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| [ea3ff04] | 47 | <li>check on monochrome, 16, and 256 colour displays - especially that depth |
|---|
| 48 | colouring looks OK |
|---|
| [0e26b3a] | 49 | |
|---|
| [a8e9fde] | 50 | <li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot? Or perhaps best |
|---|
| 51 | not to? It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not... |
|---|
| 52 | Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that |
|---|
| 53 | it depends on the redraw? |
|---|
| [0e26b3a] | 54 | |
|---|
| [3ede867] | 55 | <li>aven for MSDOS? |
|---|
| [5c7b5fa] | 56 | |
|---|
| 57 | <li>max (or fullscreen) on startup option. Or just remember last window size? |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | <li>dot (or some mark) for a fixed point not otherwise used |
|---|
| 60 | |
|---|
| 61 | <li>distances to nearest cm, not m (inch or 0.1ft, not ft) |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | <li>give coords of nearest point _instead_ of mouse (x,y)/alt, not as well? |
|---|
| 64 | |
|---|
| 65 | <li>Z/X a bit "exponential" |
|---|
| 66 | |
|---|
| 67 | <li>tilt speed and direction on keys? |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | <li>print subsurvey scales to whole plot??? |
|---|
| [29fb5fd] | 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | <li>grid: If you zoom in a long way, the grid display goes |
|---|
| 72 | completely bonkers. I refer you to |
|---|
| 73 | http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dl267/snapshot1.png for an example. |

| 79 | <ul> |
|---|
| 80 | |
|---|
| [f4b1dae] | 81 | <li>aven: Finish adding calls to msg() so messages can be translated. |
|---|
| [d4cf0ae] | 82 | |
|---|
| [f4b1dae] | 83 | <li>aven: tilt and rot should be floating point values, not integers... |
|---|
| [d4cf0ae] | 84 | |
|---|
| [f4b1dae] | 85 | <li>aven: Implement "print clipped to what's in the window". |
|---|
| [d4cf0ae] | 86 | |
|---|
| [f4b1dae] | 87 | <li>aven: the preview window should display all the pages in one window, |
|---|
| [314dc05] | 88 | arranged in an n x m grid. We should be able to do this by subclassing |
|---|
| 89 | wxPreviewFrame and overriding CreateCanvas. And CreateControlBar too |
|---|
| 90 | perhaps, though we could just make the page nav buttons scroll the |
|---|
| 91 | window to show that page. |
|---|
| 92 | |
|---|
| 93 | <li>aven: Once the above is done, the user should be able to enable/disable |
|---|
| [ff62100e] | 94 | pages by clicking on them like in Toporobot (or on checkboxes next to |
|---|
| 95 | them which I think is what Compass does?) It would also be nice to be able to drag the survey around relative to the pages so that page breaks can be |
|---|
| 96 | moved to the least awkward positions... |
|---|
| [d4cf0ae] | 97 | |
|---|
| [f17dbe2] | 98 | <li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)... |
|---|
| [0e26b3a] | 99 | |
|---|
| [2e53e55] | 100 | <li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj |
|---|
| 101 | (work out what's up with vertical size...) |
|---|
| 102 | |
|---|
| [29fb5fd] | 103 | <li> |
|---|
| 104 | On Windows, if the default printer is on another machine which |
|---|
| 105 | isn't switched on, there's a 5 second delay when bringing up the |
|---|
| 106 | page setup dialog, during which aven is unresponsive. Some other |
|---|
| 107 | applications exhibit similar 5 second delays, so we're not alone. |

| 114 | <li>Platform specific versions of docs? |
|---|
| 115 | |
|---|
| 116 | <li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ... |
|---|
| 117 | |
|---|
| [2e53e55] | 118 | <li>Finish off manual loose ends. |
|---|
| 119 | |
|---|
| [398863fc] | 120 | <li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is |
|---|
| [354ce62] | 121 | <i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>). Issues are: double space between sentences is lost; |
|---|
| 122 | double blank lines appear in output; &bsol; isn't understood. |
|---|
| [398863fc] | 123 | |
|---|
| [65ad692] | 124 | <li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini |
|---|
| 125 | (colours aren't documented at present) |

|---|
| 132 | |
|---|
| 133 | <li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) - |
|---|
| 134 | e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface, |
|---|
| 135 | but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock). You could |
|---|
| 136 | just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface |
|---|
| 137 | flag to produce points for a surface triangulation... |
|---|
| 138 | |
|---|
| 139 | <li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for) |
|---|
| 140 | and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...? |
|---|
| 141 | |
|---|
| 142 | <li>comma separated dates in *date? |
|---|
| 143 | |
|---|
| 144 | <li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem. |

|---|

|---|
| 159 | <li>extract --help messages for translation. |

| [65ad692] | 161 | <li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run? |

| 162 | In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be |
|---|
| 163 | selectable |

|---|
| 174 | |
|---|

|---|
| 176 | |
|---|
| [b548758] | 177 | <li>Compass .mak and .plt and CMAP .xyz in test suite? |

|---|
| 189 | <li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape) |
|---|
| 190 | |
|---|
| 191 | <li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is |
|---|
| 192 | identified? Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks. |
|---|
| 193 | |
|---|
| 194 | <li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error |
|---|
| 195 | stats. |
|---|
| 196 | |
|---|
| 197 | <li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen |
|---|
| 198 | bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need |
|---|
| 199 | to test this works] |
|---|
| 200 | |
|---|
| 201 | <li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of |
|---|
| 202 | left to right? |
|---|
| 203 | |
|---|
| [4c5c5f3] | 204 | <li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file |
|---|
| 205 | |
|---|
| 206 | <li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ... |
|---|
| 207 | it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the |
|---|
| 208 | leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated): |
|---|
| 209 | |
|---|
| 210 | <pre> |
|---|
| 211 | *begin mycave |

| 214 | *end mycave |
|---|
| 215 | </pre> |
|---|
| [3ede867] | 216 | |
|---|
| 217 | <li>make img more modular (convert to C++?) |
|---|
| 218 | |
|---|
| 219 | <li>add support for .KST? Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent |
|---|
| 220 | releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import... |
|---|
| 221 | |
|---|
| 222 | <li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and |
|---|
| 223 | implement reading of legs from them. |
|---|
| 224 | |
|---|
| 225 | <li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g. |
|---|
| 226 | |
|---|
| 227 | <pre> |
|---|
| 228 | foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06) |
|---|
| 229 | leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed |
|---|
| 230 | ... |
|---|
| 231 | bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03) |
|---|
| 232 | </pre> |
|---|
| 233 | |
|---|
| [ca51382] | 234 | <li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure. |
|---|
| [3ede867] | 235 | |
|---|
| [dbec409] | 236 | <li>MacOS X packaging - make Aven.app a bundle - structure like so: |
|---|
| 237 | <pre> |
|---|
| 238 | Aven.app/ |
|---|
| 239 | Contents/ |
|---|
| 240 | MacOS/ |

|---|
| 243 | Resources/ |
|---|
| 244 | </pre> |
|---|
| 245 | |
|---|
| 246 | And we need to set Aven.app's bundle bit. |
|---|
| [3ede867] | 247 | |
|---|
| 248 | <li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more |
|---|
| [7c663ef] | 249 | |
|---|
| [fe1f251] | 250 | <li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off |
|---|
| 251 | speeds up cavern by about 10%. |
|---|
| 252 | |
|---|
| [c87d246] | 253 | <li>InnoSetup: UninstallDisplayIcon = {app}\foo.ico (or .exe) | in [Files] ... ; Flags: isreadme | {userdesktop} to add icons | -mail | do we remove file |
|---|
| 254 | associations on uninstall? |
