14<li>This gives "*** Singular!!!" warning with DEBUG_INVALID on:
15<pre>

171 2 5 0 -30

20<li>aven: possible mysterious problem with [ and ] not zooming to screen centre
21- not reproducible, probably fixed or just Ol's fevered imagination...
22
23<li>img.c: eliminate duplicate img_LABELs when reading .PLT files.
24
25</ul>
26
27<H2>Aven</H2>
28
29<ul>
30
31<li>clino needs resistance around 0
32
33<li>finish reverse controls
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>Redraw time should feed back to step size (so small caves on
55fast puters look sane, and so autorotate keeps an even speed when
56little can be seen for part of each rotation)
57
58<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
59window or the info panel).
60
61<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
62
63<li>aven for MSDOS?
64
65</ul>
66
67<H2>Printing</H2>
68
69<ul>
70
71<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
72
73<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
74(work out what's up with vertical size...)
75
76</ul>
77
78<H2>Documentation</H2>
79
80<ul>
81
82<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
83
84<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
85
86<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
87
88<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
89<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
90
91</ul>
92
93<H2>Survex file format</H2>
94
95<ul>
96
97<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
98e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
99but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
100just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
101flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
102
103<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
104and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
105
106<li>comma separated dates in *date?
107
108<li>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
109just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
110cave with *export to one without...
111
112<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
113
114<li>LRUD?
115
116<li>Backsights and multiple readings
117
118</ul>
119
120<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
121
122<ul>
123
124<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
125
126<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
127suggests not in French.
128
129<li>extract --help messages for translation.
130
131</ul>
132
133<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
134
135<ul>
136
137<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
138
139<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
140
141<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
142identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
143
144<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
145stats.
146
147<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
148
149<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
150
151<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
152
153<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
154bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
155to test this works]
156
157<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
158left to right?
159
160<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
161autorun for MS Windows?
162
163<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
164
165<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
166
167<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
168it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
169leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
170
171<pre>
172*begin mycave
173*title "My Cave"
174...
175*end mycave
176</pre>
177
178<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
179
180<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
181
182<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
183
184<li>resolve issues importing .plt from cad3d into Carto.  Seems to work fine on
185Linux - Martin reports problems on Microsoft Windows (so much for write once,
186run anywhere).
187
188<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
189non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
190others?)
191
192<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
193releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
194
195<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
196implement reading of legs from them.
197
198<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
199
200<pre>
201foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
202leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
203...
204bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
205</pre>
206
207<li>improve .plt export to include all the N, Z, etc stuff...
208
209<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
210
211<li>v4 .3d format?
212
213<li>MacOS X packaging
214
215<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
216</ul>
