|---|
| 12 | <ul> |
|---|
| 13 | |
|---|
| 14 | <li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on: |
|---|
| 15 | <pre> |
|---|
| 16 | 1 2 50000 0 - |
|---|
| 17 | 1 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> |
|---|
| 26 | average bearings specially - they don't average like normal numbers |
|---|
| 27 | <p> |
|---|
| 28 | %age gradients should probably average the same as angle gradients |
|---|
| 29 | <p> |
|---|
| 30 | Document - works like so: |
|---|
| 31 | <pre> |
|---|
| 32 | *set open { |
|---|
| 33 | *set close } |
|---|
| 34 | *calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25} |
|---|
| 35 | 1 2 10.23 {000 001} -02 |
|---|
| 36 | 2 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05} |
|---|
| 37 | 3 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03} |
|---|
| 38 | </pre> |
|---|
| 39 | Implemented as extension to number format so any suitable numeric value to be |
|---|
| 40 | repeated. |
|---|
| 41 | </ul> |
|---|
| 42 | |
|---|
| 43 | <H2>Aven</H2> |
|---|
| 44 | |
|---|
| 45 | <ul> |
|---|
| 46 | |
|---|
| 47 | <li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused |
|---|
| 48 | fixed points)? |
|---|
| 49 | |
|---|
| 50 | <li>label junctions/dead ends? |
|---|
| 51 | |
|---|
| 52 | <li>colour by traverse |
|---|
| 53 | |
|---|
| 54 | <li>section colouring/selective labelling |
|---|
| 55 | |
|---|
| 56 | <li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on |
|---|
| 57 | centre on rotation I think. |
|---|
| 58 | |
|---|
| 59 | <li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix): |
|---|
| 60 | "aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in |
|---|
| 61 | lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours... |
|---|
| 62 | |
|---|
| 63 | <li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring |
|---|
| 64 | looks OK |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | <li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot? Or perhaps best |
|---|
| 67 | not to? It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not... |
|---|
| 68 | Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that |
|---|
| 69 | it depends on the redraw? |
|---|
| 70 | |
|---|
| 71 | <li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up |
|---|
| 72 | window or the info panel). |
|---|
| 73 | |
|---|
| 74 | <li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree... |
|---|
| 75 | |
|---|
| 76 | <li>aven for MSDOS? |
|---|
| 77 | |
|---|
| 78 | <li>see if we can fix to build under wxWindows 2.3 with WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_2_2 |
|---|
| 79 | set to 0 in setup.h, while still building on wxWindows 2.2. |

|---|
| 86 | <li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)... |
|---|
| 87 | |
|---|
| 88 | <li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj |
|---|
| 89 | (work out what's up with vertical size...) |

| 97 | <li>Platform specific versions of docs? |
|---|
| 98 | |
|---|
| 99 | <li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ... |
|---|
| 100 | |
|---|
| 101 | <li>Finish off manual loose ends. |
|---|
| 102 | |
|---|
| 103 | <li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is |
|---|
| 104 | <i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>) |
|---|
| 105 | |
|---|
| 106 | <li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini |
|---|
| 107 | (colours aren't documented at present) |

| 113 | <ul> |
|---|
| 114 | |
|---|
| 115 | <li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) - |
|---|
| 116 | e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface, |
|---|
| 117 | but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock). You could |
|---|
| 118 | just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface |
|---|
| 119 | flag to produce points for a surface triangulation... |
|---|
| 120 | |
|---|
| 121 | <li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for) |
|---|
| 122 | and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...? |
|---|
| 123 | |
|---|
| 124 | <li>comma separated dates in *date? |
|---|
| 125 | |
|---|
| 126 | <li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem. |
|---|
| 127 | |

| 134 | |
|---|
| 135 | <li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation |
|---|
| 136 | |
|---|
| 137 | <li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ». Eric |
|---|
| 138 | suggests not in French. |
|---|
| 139 | |
|---|
| 140 | <li>extract --help messages for translation. |
|---|
| 141 | |
|---|
| 142 | <li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run? |
|---|
| 143 | In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be |
|---|
| 144 | selectable |
|---|

|---|
| 152 | <li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed) |
|---|
| 153 | |
|---|
| 154 | <li>more tests for direction |
|---|
| 155 | |
|---|
| 156 | <li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible. |
|---|
| 157 | |
|---|
| 158 | <li>.plt and .xyz in test suite? |
|---|
| 159 | |
|---|
| 160 | <li>img.c: test routines in test suite? |

|---|
| 165 | |
|---|
| 166 | <ul> |
|---|
| 167 | |
|---|
| 168 | <li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code |
|---|
| 169 | |
|---|
| 170 | <li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape) |
|---|
| 171 | |
|---|
| 172 | <li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is |
|---|
| 173 | identified? Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks. |
|---|
| 174 | |
|---|
| 175 | <li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error |
|---|
| 176 | stats. |
|---|
| 177 | |
|---|
| 178 | <li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen |
|---|
| 179 | bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need |
|---|
| 180 | to test this works] |
|---|
| 181 | |
|---|
| 182 | <li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of |
|---|
| 183 | left to right? |
|---|
| 184 | |
|---|
| 185 | <li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file |
|---|
| 186 | |
|---|
| 187 | <li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ... |
|---|
| 188 | it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the |
|---|
| 189 | leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated): |
|---|
| 190 | |
|---|
| 191 | <pre> |
|---|
| 192 | *begin mycave |
|---|
| 193 | *title "My Cave" |
|---|
| 194 | ... |
|---|
| 195 | *end mycave |
|---|
| 196 | </pre> |
|---|
| 197 | |
|---|
| 198 | <li>make img more modular (convert to C++?) |
|---|
| 199 | |
|---|
| 200 | <li>add support for .KST? Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent |
|---|
| 201 | releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import... |
|---|
| 202 | |
|---|
| 203 | <li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and |
|---|
| 204 | implement reading of legs from them. |
|---|
| 205 | |
|---|
| 206 | <li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g. |
|---|
| 207 | |
|---|
| 208 | <pre> |
|---|
| 209 | foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06) |
|---|
| 210 | leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed |
|---|
| 211 | ... |
|---|
| 212 | bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03) |
|---|
| 213 | </pre> |
|---|
| 214 | |
|---|
| 215 | <li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure. |
|---|
| 216 | |
|---|
| 217 | <li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix |
|---|
| 218 | |
|---|
| 219 | <li>v4 .3d format? |
|---|
| 220 | |
|---|
| 221 | <li>MacOS X packaging |
|---|
| 222 | |
|---|
| 223 | <li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more |
|---|
| 224 | |
|---|
| 225 | <li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off |
|---|
| 226 | speeds up cavern by about 10%. |
