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
[b6de07d]24</ul>
[e03199f]25
26<H2>Aven</H2>
27
28<ul>
29
[0e26b3a]30<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
31fixed points)?
32
33<li>label junctions/dead ends?
34
35<li>colour by traverse
36
37<li>section colouring/selective labelling
38
39<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
40centre on rotation I think.
41
42<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
43"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
44lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
45
46<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
47looks OK
48
[a8e9fde]49<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
50not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
51Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
52it depends on the redraw?
[0e26b3a]53
[ca7fb22]54<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
55window or the info panel).
56
57<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
58
[3ede867]59<li>aven for MSDOS?
60
[fe1f251]61<li>see if we can fix to build under wxWindows 2.3 with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2
62set to 0 in setup.h, while still building on wxWindows 2.2.
[0e26b3a]63</ul>
64
65<H2>Printing</H2>
66
67<ul>
68
[f17dbe2]69<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
[0e26b3a]70
[2e53e55]71<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
72(work out what's up with vertical size...)
73
[0e26b3a]74</ul>
75
76<H2>Documentation</H2>
77
78<ul>
79
80<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
81
82<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
83
[2e53e55]84<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
85
[398863fc]86<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
87<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
88
[65ad692]89<li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini
90(colours aren't documented at present)
91
[0e26b3a]92</ul>
93
94<H2>Survex file format</H2>
95
96<ul>
97
98<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
99e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
100but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
101just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
102flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
103
104<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
105and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
106
107<li>comma separated dates in *date?
108
109<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
110
[3ede867]111<li>LRUD?
112
[fa42426]113<li>multiple readings - perhaps like so:
114<pre>
[0cb8e27]115*calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25}
[fa42426]1161 2 10.23 {000 001} -02
[0cb8e27]1172 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05}
1183 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03}
[fa42426]119</pre>
[fe1f251]120Implement as extension to number format?  Then we can easily
[0cb8e27]121allow any suitable numeric value to be repeated, but bear in mind that bearings
122don't average like normal numbers...
[0e26b3a]123</ul>
124
[65ad692]125<H2>Internationalisation and Localisation</H2>
[0e26b3a]126
127<ul>
128
129<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
130
131<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
132suggests not in French.
133
134<li>extract --help messages for translation.
135
[65ad692]136<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
137In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be
138selectable
139
140</ul>
141
142<H2>Test Suite</H2>
143
144<ul>
145
146<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
147
148<li>more tests for direction
149
150<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
151
152<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
153
154<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
155
[0e26b3a]156</ul>
157
158<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
159
160<ul>
161
162<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
163
164<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
165
166<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
167identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
168
169<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
170stats.
171
172<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
173bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
174to test this works]
175
176<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
177left to right?
178
[4c5c5f3]179<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
180
181<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
182it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
183leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
184
185<pre>
186*begin mycave
187*title "My Cave"
188...
189*end mycave
190</pre>
[3ede867]191
192<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
193
194<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
195releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
196
197<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
198implement reading of legs from them.
199
200<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
201
202<pre>
203foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
204leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
205...
206bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
207</pre>
208
[ca51382]209<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
[3ede867]210
211<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
212
213<li>v4 .3d format?
214
215<li>MacOS X packaging
216
217<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
[7c663ef]218
[fe1f251]219<li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off
220speeds up cavern by about 10%.
