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>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>
39Implement as extension to number format so any suitable numeric value to be
40repeated?
41</ul>
42
43<H2>Aven</H2>
44
45<ul>
46
47<li>check on monochrome, 16, and 256 colour displays - especially that depth
48colouring looks OK
49
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?
54</ul>
55
56<H2>Printing</H2>
57
58<ul>
59
60<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
61
62<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
63(work out what's up with vertical size...)
64
65</ul>
66
67<H2>Documentation</H2>
68
69<ul>
70
71<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
72
73<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
74
75<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
76
77<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
78<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>).  Issues are: double space between sentences is lost;
79double blank lines appear in output; &amp;bsol; isn't understood.
80
81<li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini
82(colours aren't documented at present)
83
84</ul>
85
86<H2>Survex file format</H2>
87
88<ul>
89
90<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
91e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
92but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
93just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
94flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
95
96<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
97and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
98
99<li>comma separated dates in *date?
100
101<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
102
103<li>Units in *fix (currently metres)
104
105</ul>
106
107<H2>Internationalisation and Localisation</H2>
108
109<ul>
110
111<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
112suggests not in French.
113
114<li>extract --help messages for translation.
115
116<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
117In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be
118selectable
119
120</ul>
121
122<H2>Test Suite</H2>
123
124<ul>
125
126<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
127
128<li>more tests for direction
129
130<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
131
132<li>Compass .mak and .plt and CMAP .xyz in test suite?
133
134<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
135
136</ul>
137
138<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
139
140<ul>
141
142<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
143
144<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
145
146<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
147identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
148
149<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
150stats.
151
152<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
153
154<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
155it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
156leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
157
158<pre>
159*begin mycave
160*title "My Cave"
161...
162*end mycave
163</pre>
164
165<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
166
167<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
168releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
169
170<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
171implement reading of legs from them.
172
173<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
174
175<pre>
176foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
177leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
178...
179bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
180</pre>
181
182<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
183
184<li>MacOS X packaging - make Aven.app a bundle - structure like so:
185<pre>
186        Aven.app/
187                Contents/
188                        MacOS/
189                                Aven
190                Info.plist
191                Resources/
192</pre>
193
194And we need to set Aven.app's bundle bit.
195
196<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
197
198<li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off
199speeds up cavern by about 10%.
200
201<li>InnoSetup: UninstallDisplayIcon = {app}\foo.ico (or .exe) | in [Files] ... ; Flags: isreadme | {userdesktop} to add icons | -mail | do we remove file
202 associations on uninstall?
203</ul>
