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
[5bcd880]24<li>multiple readings:
25<p>
26average bearings specially - they don't average like normal numbers
27<p>
28%age gradients should probably average the same as angle gradients
29<p>
30Document - works like so:
31<pre>
32*set open {
33*set close }
34*calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25}
351 2 10.23 {000 001} -02
362 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05}
373 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03}
38</pre>
[b548758]39Implement as extension to number format so any suitable numeric value to be
40repeated?
[b6de07d]41</ul>
[e03199f]42
43<H2>Aven</H2>
44
45<ul>
46
[ea3ff04]47<li>check on monochrome, 16, and 256 colour displays - especially that depth
48colouring looks OK
[0e26b3a]49
[a8e9fde]50<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
51not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
52Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
53it depends on the redraw?
[0e26b3a]54
[3ede867]55<li>aven for MSDOS?
[0e26b3a]56</ul>
57
58<H2>Printing</H2>
59
60<ul>
61
[f4b1dae]62<li>aven: Finish adding calls to msg() so messages can be translated.
[d4cf0ae]63
[f4b1dae]64<li>aven: tilt and rot should be floating point values, not integers...
[d4cf0ae]65
[f4b1dae]66<li>aven: Implement "print clipped to what's in the window".
[d4cf0ae]67
[f4b1dae]68<li>aven: the preview window should display all the pages in one window,
[314dc05]69    arranged in an n x m grid.  We should be able to do this by subclassing
70    wxPreviewFrame and overriding CreateCanvas.  And CreateControlBar too
71    perhaps, though we could just make the page nav buttons scroll the
72    window to show that page.
73
74<li>aven: Once the above is done, the user should be able to enable/disable
[ff62100e]75    pages by clicking on them like in Toporobot (or on checkboxes next to     
76    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
77    moved to the least awkward positions...
[d4cf0ae]78
[f17dbe2]79<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
[0e26b3a]80
[2e53e55]81<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
82(work out what's up with vertical size...)
83
[0e26b3a]84</ul>
85
86<H2>Documentation</H2>
87
88<ul>
89
90<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
91
92<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
93
[2e53e55]94<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
95
[398863fc]96<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
[354ce62]97<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>).  Issues are: double space between sentences is lost;
98double blank lines appear in output; &amp;bsol; isn't understood.
[398863fc]99
[65ad692]100<li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini
101(colours aren't documented at present)
102
[0e26b3a]103</ul>
104
105<H2>Survex file format</H2>
106
107<ul>
108
109<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
110e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
111but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
112just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
113flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
114
115<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
116and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
117
118<li>comma separated dates in *date?
119
120<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
[b548758]121
122<li>Units in *fix (currently metres)
123
[0e26b3a]124</ul>
125
[65ad692]126<H2>Internationalisation and Localisation</H2>
[0e26b3a]127
128<ul>
129
130<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
131
132<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
133suggests not in French.
134
135<li>extract --help messages for translation.
136
[65ad692]137<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
138In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be
139selectable
140
141</ul>
142
143<H2>Test Suite</H2>
144
145<ul>
146
147<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
148
149<li>more tests for direction
150
151<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
152
[b548758]153<li>Compass .mak and .plt and CMAP .xyz in test suite?
[65ad692]154
155<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
156
[0e26b3a]157</ul>
158
159<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
160
161<ul>
162
163<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
164
165<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
166
167<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
168identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
169
170<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
171stats.
172
173<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
174bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
175to test this works]
176
177<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
178left to right?
179
[4c5c5f3]180<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
181
182<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
183it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
184leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
185
186<pre>
187*begin mycave
188*title "My Cave"
189...
190*end mycave
191</pre>
[3ede867]192
193<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
194
195<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
196releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
197
198<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
199implement reading of legs from them.
200
201<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
202
203<pre>
204foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
205leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
206...
207bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
208</pre>
209
[ca51382]210<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
[3ede867]211
212<li>v4 .3d format?
213
214<li>MacOS X packaging
215
216<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
[7c663ef]217
[fe1f251]218<li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off
219speeds up cavern by about 10%.
220
[c87d246]221<li>InnoSetup: UninstallDisplayIcon = {app}\foo.ico (or .exe) | in [Files] ... ; Flags: isreadme | {userdesktop} to add icons | -mail | do we remove file
222 associations on uninstall?
