cavern: BackCompass? now works in DIVING and CYLPOLAR styles.

cavern: Tidied up handling of BackCompass? and BackClino? in NORMAL style.

cavern: fixed a bogus warning for any station which was only used in a line
of data which was rejected because of an error; added regression test.

cavern: removed the ill-thought-out and never implemented LENGTHOUTPUT
and ANGLEOUTPUT quantities.

12<ul>
13
14<li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on:
15<pre>
161 2 50000 0 -
171 2 5 0 -30
18</pre>
19
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
22<li>img.c: eliminate duplicate img_LABELs when reading .PLT files.
23
24<li>datain.c: add warning messages in cases where foresight and backsight are
25too different.
26
27<H2>Aven</H2>
28
29<ul>
30
31<li>sort out "zoom limit" - it's not really acceptable on really large surveys
32(e.g. 100miles or so across).
33
34<li>sort out free rotation mode (e.g. "Plan" doesn't quite work...)
35
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
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?
59
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
65<li>aven for MSDOS?
66
67</ul>
68
69<H2>Printing</H2>
70
71<ul>
72
73<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
74
75<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
76(work out what's up with vertical size...)
77
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
88<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
89
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
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>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
111just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
112cave with *export to one without...
113
114<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
115
116<li>LRUD?
117
118<li>multiple readings
119
120</ul>
121
122<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
123
124<ul>
125
126<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
127
128<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
129suggests not in French.
130
131<li>extract --help messages for translation.
132
133</ul>
134
135<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
136
137<ul>
138
139<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
140
141<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
142
143<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
144identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
145
146<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
147stats.
148
149<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
150
151<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
152
153<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
154
155<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
156bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
157to test this works]
158
159<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
160left to right?
161
162<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
163autorun for MS Windows?
164
165<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
166
167<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
168
169<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
170it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
171leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
172
173<pre>
174*begin mycave
175*title "My Cave"
176...
177*end mycave
178</pre>
179
180<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
181
182<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
183
184<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
185
186<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
187non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
188others?)
189
190<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
191releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
192
193<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
194implement reading of legs from them.
195
196<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
197
198<pre>
199foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
200leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
201...
202bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
203</pre>
204
205<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
206
207<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
208
209<li>v4 .3d format?
210
211<li>MacOS X packaging
212
213<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
214</ul>
