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>sort out "zoom limit" - it's not really acceptable on really large surveys
31(e.g. 100miles or so across).
32
33<li>sort out free rotation mode (e.g. "Plan" doesn't quite work...)
34
35<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
36fixed points)?
37
38<li>label junctions/dead ends?
39
40<li>colour by traverse
41
42<li>section colouring/selective labelling
43
44<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
45centre on rotation I think.
46
47<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
48"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
49lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
50
51<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
52looks OK
53
54<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
55not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
56Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
57it depends on the redraw?
58
59<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
60window or the info panel).
61
62<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
63
64<li>aven for MSDOS?
65
66</ul>
67
68<H2>Printing</H2>
69
70<ul>
71
72<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
73
74<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
75(work out what's up with vertical size...)
76
77</ul>
78
79<H2>Documentation</H2>
80
81<ul>
82
83<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
84
85<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
86
87<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
88
89<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
90<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
91
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>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
110just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
111cave with *export to one without...
112
113<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
114
115<li>LRUD?
116
117<li>Backsights and multiple readings
118
119</ul>
120
121<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
122
123<ul>
124
125<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
126
127<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
128suggests not in French.
129
130<li>extract --help messages for translation.
131
132</ul>
133
134<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
135
136<ul>
137
138<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
139
140<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
141
142<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
143identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
144
145<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
146stats.
147
148<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
149
150<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
151
152<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
153
154<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
155bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
156to test this works]
157
158<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
159left to right?
160
161<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
162autorun for MS Windows?
163
164<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
165
166<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
167
168<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
169it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
170leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
171
172<pre>
173*begin mycave
174*title "My Cave"
175...
176*end mycave
177</pre>
178
179<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
180
181<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
182
183<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
184
185<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
186non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
187others?)
188
189<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
190releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
191
192<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
193implement reading of legs from them.
194
195<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
196
197<pre>
198foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
199leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
200...
201bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
202</pre>
203
204<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
205
206<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
207
208<li>v4 .3d format?
209
210<li>MacOS X packaging
211
212<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
213</ul>
