aven: resolved annoying limit on zooming in on large surveys. This was a
crude way of preventing random lines due to overflow in the windowing system.
Aven now clips lines itself at high zoom levels, and limits zoom in to
approximately 1mm/pixel.

aven: zoom in/out with keyboard wasn't subject to any limits - now restricted
to sane values as with zoom in/out with the mouse.

doc/TODO.htm: Added missing </ul>.

cavern: Tidied up backsight code.

src/printps.c: Removed line from clipping code which has no effect.

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 free rotation mode (e.g. "Plan" doesn't quite work...)
31
32<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
33fixed points)?
34
35<li>label junctions/dead ends?
36
37<li>colour by traverse
38
39<li>section colouring/selective labelling
40
41<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
42centre on rotation I think.
43
44<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
45"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
46lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
47
48<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
49looks OK
50
51<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
52not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
53Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
54it depends on the redraw?
55
56<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
57window or the info panel).
58
59<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
60
61<li>aven for MSDOS?
62
63</ul>
64
65<H2>Printing</H2>
66
67<ul>
68
69<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
70
71<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
72(work out what's up with vertical size...)
73
74</ul>
75
76<H2>Documentation</H2>
77
78<ul>
79
80<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
81
82<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
83
84<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
85
86<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
87<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
88
89</ul>
90
91<H2>Survex file format</H2>
92
93<ul>
94
95<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
96e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
97but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
98just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
99flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
100
101<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
102and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
103
104<li>comma separated dates in *date?
105
106<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
107
108<li>LRUD?
109
110<li>multiple readings
111
112</ul>
113
114<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
115
116<ul>
117
118<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
119
120<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
121suggests not in French.
122
123<li>extract --help messages for translation.
124
125</ul>
126
127<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
128
129<ul>
130
131<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
132
133<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
134
135<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
136identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
137
138<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
139stats.
140
141<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
142
143<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
144
145<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
146
147<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
148bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
149to test this works]
150
151<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
152left to right?
153
154<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
155autorun for MS Windows?
156
157<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
158
159<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
160
161<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
162it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
163leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
164
165<pre>
166*begin mycave
167*title "My Cave"
168...
169*end mycave
170</pre>
171
172<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
173
174<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
175
176<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
177
178<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
179non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
180others?)
181
182<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
183releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
184
185<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
186implement reading of legs from them.
187
188<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
189
190<pre>
191foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
192leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
193...
194bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
195</pre>
196
197<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
198
199<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
200
201<li>v4 .3d format?
202
203<li>MacOS X packaging
204
205<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
206</ul>
