*infer plumbs wasn't inferring -90 to be DOWN - fixed.

BackClino? and BackCompass? now partially work with NORMAL data style.

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>This gives a valid error and a bogus warning (point 2 isn't *export-ed or
25*entrance-d):
26<pre>
27*fix 1 0 0 0
281 2 1.00 - 0
29</pre>
30</ul>
31
32<H2>Aven</H2>
33
34<ul>
35
36<li>sort out "zoom limit" - it's not really acceptable on really large surveys
37(e.g. 100miles or so across).
38
39<li>sort out free rotation mode (e.g. "Plan" doesn't quite work...)
40
41<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
42fixed points)?
43
44<li>label junctions/dead ends?
45
46<li>colour by traverse
47
48<li>section colouring/selective labelling
49
50<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
51centre on rotation I think.
52
53<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
54"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
55lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
56
57<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
58looks OK
59
60<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
61not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
62Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
63it depends on the redraw?
64
65<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
66window or the info panel).
67
68<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
69
70<li>aven for MSDOS?
71
72</ul>
73
74<H2>Printing</H2>
75
76<ul>
77
78<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
79
80<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
81(work out what's up with vertical size...)
82
83</ul>
84
85<H2>Documentation</H2>
86
87<ul>
88
89<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
90
91<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
92
93<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
94
95<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
96<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
97
98</ul>
99
100<H2>Survex file format</H2>
101
102<ul>
103
104<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
105e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
106but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
107just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
108flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
109
110<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
111and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
112
113<li>comma separated dates in *date?
114
115<li>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
116just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
117cave with *export to one without...
118
119<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
120
121<li>LRUD?
122
123<li>Backsights and multiple readings
124
125</ul>
126
127<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
128
129<ul>
130
131<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
132
133<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
134suggests not in French.
135
136<li>extract --help messages for translation.
137
138</ul>
139
140<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
141
142<ul>
143
144<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
145
146<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
147
148<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
149identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
150
151<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
152stats.
153
154<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
155
156<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
157
158<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
159
160<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
161bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
162to test this works]
163
164<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
165left to right?
166
167<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
168autorun for MS Windows?
169
170<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
171
172<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
173
174<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
175it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
176leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
177
178<pre>
179*begin mycave
180*title "My Cave"
181...
182*end mycave
183</pre>
184
185<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
186
187<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
188
189<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
190
191<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
192non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
193others?)
194
195<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
196releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
197
198<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
199implement reading of legs from them.
200
201<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
202
203<pre>
204foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
205leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
206...
207bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
208</pre>
209
210<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
211
212<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
213
214<li>v4 .3d format?
215
216<li>MacOS X packaging
217
218<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
219</ul>
