Last change on this file since 4fcd2d19 was c00c74a9, checked in by Olly Betts <olly@…>, 23 years ago

Added "*infer export on" to infer *export commands for any stations
encountered while it is active.

Fixed handling of "*infer unknown on".

11
12<ul>
13
[5aa0d75]14<li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on:
15<pre>
161 2 50000 0 -
171 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
[b14f44f]24<li>datain.c: add warning messages in cases where foresight and backsight are
25too different.
[e03199f]26
27<H2>Aven</H2>
28
29<ul>
30
[7636a5e]31<li>sort out "zoom limit" - it's not really acceptable on really large surveys
32(e.g. 100miles or so across).
33
[3d5fb53]34<li>sort out free rotation mode (e.g. "Plan" doesn't quite work...)
[e03199f]35
[0e26b3a]36<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
37fixed points)?
38
39<li>label junctions/dead ends?
40
41<li>colour by traverse
42
43<li>section colouring/selective labelling
44
45<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
46centre on rotation I think.
47
48<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
49"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
50lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
51
52<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
53looks OK
54
[a8e9fde]55<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
56not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
57Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
58it depends on the redraw?
[0e26b3a]59
[ca7fb22]60<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
61window or the info panel).
62
63<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
64
[3ede867]65<li>aven for MSDOS?
66
[0e26b3a]67</ul>
68
69<H2>Printing</H2>
70
71<ul>
72
[f17dbe2]73<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
[0e26b3a]74
[2e53e55]75<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
76(work out what's up with vertical size...)
77
[0e26b3a]78</ul>
79
80<H2>Documentation</H2>
81
82<ul>
83
84<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
85
86<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
87
[2e53e55]88<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
89
[398863fc]90<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
91<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
92
[0e26b3a]93</ul>
94
95<H2>Survex file format</H2>
96
97<ul>
98
99<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
100e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
101but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
102just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
103flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
104
105<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
106and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
107
108<li>comma separated dates in *date?
109
110<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
111
[3ede867]112<li>LRUD?
113
[b14f44f]114<li>multiple readings
[4b095da0]115
[0e26b3a]116</ul>
117
118<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
119
120<ul>
121
122<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
123
124<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
125suggests not in French.
126
127<li>extract --help messages for translation.
128
129</ul>
130
131<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
132
133<ul>
134
135<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
136
137<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
138
139<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
140identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
141
142<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
143stats.
144
145<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
146
147<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
148
149<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
150
151<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
152bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
153to test this works]
154
155<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
156left to right?
157
158<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
159autorun for MS Windows?
160
[4c5c5f3]161<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
[4b095da0]162
[4c5c5f3]163<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
164
165<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
166it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
167leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
168
169<pre>
170*begin mycave
171*title "My Cave"
172...
173*end mycave
174</pre>
[3ede867]175
176<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
177
178<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
179
180<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
181
182<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
183non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
184others?)
185
186<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
187releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
188
189<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
190implement reading of legs from them.
191
192<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
193
194<pre>
195foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
196leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
197...
198bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
199</pre>
200
[ca51382]201<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
[3ede867]202
203<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
204
205<li>v4 .3d format?
206
207<li>MacOS X packaging
208
209<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
