11
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</ul>
25
26<H2>Aven</H2>
27
28<ul>
29
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
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?
53
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
59<li>aven for MSDOS?
60
61</ul>
62
63<H2>Printing</H2>
64
65<ul>
66
67<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
68
69<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
70(work out what's up with vertical size...)
71
72</ul>
73
74<H2>Documentation</H2>
75
76<ul>
77
78<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
79
80<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
81
82<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
83
84<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
85<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
86
87<li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini
88(colours aren't documented at present)
89
90</ul>
91
92<H2>Survex file format</H2>
93
94<ul>
95
96<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
97e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
98but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
99just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
100flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
101
102<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
103and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
104
105<li>comma separated dates in *date?
106
107<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
108
109<li>LRUD?
110
111<li>multiple readings - perhaps like so:
112<pre>
113*calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25}
1141 2 10.23 {000 001} -02
1152 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05}
1163 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03}
117</pre>
118Also, should we add "*set bra {", "*set ket }" or similar?  Or is *set kind
119of deprecated?  Implement as extension to number format?  Then we can easily
120allow any suitable numeric value to be repeated, but bear in mind that bearings
121don't average like normal numbers...
122</ul>
123
124<H2>Internationalisation and Localisation</H2>
125
126<ul>
127
128<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
129
130<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
131suggests not in French.
132
133<li>extract --help messages for translation.
134
135<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
136In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be
137selectable
138
139</ul>
140
141<H2>Test Suite</H2>
142
143<ul>
144
145<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
146
147<li>more tests for direction
148
149<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
150
151<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
152
153<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
154
155</ul>
156
157<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
158
159<ul>
160
161<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
162
163<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
164
165<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
166identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
167
168<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
169stats.
170
171<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
172bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
173to test this works]
174
175<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
176left to right?
177
178<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
179
180<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
181it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
182leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
183
184<pre>
185*begin mycave
186*title "My Cave"
187...
188*end mycave
189</pre>
190
191<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
192
193<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
194releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
195
196<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
197implement reading of legs from them.
198
199<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
200
201<pre>
202foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
203leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
204...
205bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
206</pre>
207
208<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
209
210<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
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
217
218</ul>
