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 | Implement 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>check on monochrome, 16, and 256 colour displays - especially that depth |
---|
48 | colouring looks OK |
---|
49 | |
---|
50 | <li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot? Or perhaps best |
---|
51 | not to? It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not... |
---|
52 | Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that |
---|
53 | it depends on the redraw? |
---|
54 | |
---|
55 | <li>aven for MSDOS? |
---|
56 | |
---|
57 | <li>max (or fullscreen) on startup option. Or just remember last window size? |
---|
58 | |
---|
59 | <li>dot (or some mark) for a fixed point not otherwise used |
---|
60 | |
---|
61 | <li>distances to nearest cm, not m (inch or 0.1ft, not ft) |
---|
62 | |
---|
63 | <li>give coords of nearest point _instead_ of mouse (x,y)/alt, not as well? |
---|
64 | |
---|
65 | <li>Z/X a bit "exponential" |
---|
66 | |
---|
67 | <li>tilt speed and direction on keys? |
---|
68 | |
---|
69 | <li>print subsurvey scales to whole plot??? |
---|
70 | |
---|
71 | <li>grid: If you zoom in a long way, the grid display goes |
---|
72 | completely bonkers. I refer you to |
---|
73 | http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~dl267/snapshot1.png for an example. |
---|
74 | |

77 | <H2>Printing</H2> |
---|
78 | |
---|
79 | <ul> |
---|
80 | |
---|
81 | <li>aven: Finish adding calls to msg() so messages can be translated. |
---|
82 | |
---|
83 | <li>aven: tilt and rot should be floating point values, not integers... |
---|
84 | |
---|
85 | <li>aven: Implement "print clipped to what's in the window". |
---|
86 | |
---|
87 | <li>aven: the preview window should display all the pages in one window, |
---|
88 | arranged in an n x m grid. We should be able to do this by subclassing |
---|
89 | wxPreviewFrame and overriding CreateCanvas. And CreateControlBar too |
---|
90 | perhaps, though we could just make the page nav buttons scroll the |
---|
91 | window to show that page. |
---|
92 | |
---|
93 | <li>aven: Once the above is done, the user should be able to enable/disable |
---|
94 | pages by clicking on them like in Toporobot (or on checkboxes next to |
---|
95 | them which I think is what Compass does?) It would also be nice to be able to drag the survey around relative to the pages so that page breaks can be |
---|
96 | moved to the least awkward positions... |
---|
97 | |
---|
98 | <li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)... |
---|
99 | |
---|
100 | <li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj |
---|
101 | (work out what's up with vertical size...) |
---|
102 | |
---|
103 | <li> |
---|
104 | On Windows, if the default printer is on another machine which |
---|
105 | isn't switched on, there's a 5 second delay when bringing up the |
---|
106 | page setup dialog, during which aven is unresponsive. Some other |
---|
107 | applications exhibit similar 5 second delays, so we're not alone. |
---|

---|
111 | |
---|
112 | <ul> |
---|
113 | |
---|
114 | <li>Platform specific versions of docs? |
---|
115 | |
---|
116 | <li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ... |
---|
117 | |
---|
118 | <li>Finish off manual loose ends. |
---|
119 | |
---|
120 | <li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is |
---|
121 | <i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>). Issues are: double space between sentences is lost; |
---|
122 | double blank lines appear in output; &bsol; isn't understood. |
---|
123 | |
---|
124 | <li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini |
---|
125 | (colours aren't documented at present) |
---|

130 | |
---|
131 | <ul> |
---|
132 | |
---|
133 | <li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) - |
---|
134 | e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface, |
---|
135 | but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock). You could |
---|
136 | just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface |
---|
137 | flag to produce points for a surface triangulation... |
---|
138 | |
---|
139 | <li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for) |
---|
140 | and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...? |
---|
141 | |
---|
142 | <li>comma separated dates in *date? |
---|
143 | |
---|
144 | <li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem. |
---|
145 | |
---|
146 | <li>Units in *fix (currently metres) |

152 | <ul> |
---|
153 | |
---|
154 | <li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation |
---|
155 | |
---|
156 | <li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ». Eric |
---|
157 | suggests not in French. |
---|
158 | |
---|
159 | <li>extract --help messages for translation. |
---|
160 | |
---|
161 | <li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run? |
---|
162 | In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be |
---|
163 | selectable |
---|

---|
170 | |
---|
171 | <li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed) |
---|
172 | |
---|
173 | <li>more tests for direction |
---|
174 | |
---|
175 | <li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible. |
---|
176 | |
---|
177 | <li>Compass .mak and .plt and CMAP .xyz in test suite? |
---|
178 | |
---|
179 | <li>img.c: test routines in test suite? |
---|
180 | |

183 | <H2>Miscellaneous</H2> |
---|
184 | |
---|
185 | <ul> |
---|
186 | |
---|
187 | <li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code |
---|
188 | |
---|
189 | <li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape) |
---|
190 | |
---|
191 | <li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is |
---|
192 | identified? Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks. |
---|
193 | |
---|
194 | <li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error |
---|
195 | stats. |
---|
196 | |
---|
197 | <li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen |
---|
198 | bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need |
---|
199 | to test this works] |
---|
200 | |
---|
201 | <li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file |
---|
202 | |
---|
203 | <li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ... |
---|
204 | it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the |
---|
205 | leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated): |
---|
206 | |
---|
207 | <pre> |
---|
208 | *begin mycave |
---|
209 | *title "My Cave" |
---|
210 | ... |
---|
211 | *end mycave |
---|
212 | </pre> |
---|
213 | |
---|
214 | <li>make img more modular (convert to C++?) |
---|
215 | |
---|
216 | <li>add support for .KST? Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent |
---|
217 | releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import... |
---|
218 | |
---|
219 | <li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and |
---|
220 | implement reading of legs from them. |
---|
221 | |
---|
222 | <li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g. |
---|
223 | |
---|
224 | <pre> |
---|
225 | foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06) |
---|
226 | leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed |
---|
227 | ... |
---|
228 | bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03) |
---|
229 | </pre> |
---|
230 | |
---|
231 | <li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure. |
---|
232 | |
---|
233 | <li>MacOS X packaging - make Aven.app a bundle - structure like so: |
---|
234 | <pre> |
---|
235 | Aven.app/ |
---|
236 | Contents/ |
---|
237 | MacOS/ |
---|
238 | Aven |
---|
239 | Info.plist |
---|
240 | Resources/ |
---|
241 | </pre> |
---|
242 | |
---|
243 | And we need to set Aven.app's bundle bit. |
---|
244 | |
---|
245 | <li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more |
---|
246 | |
---|
247 | <li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off |
---|
248 | speeds up cavern by about 10%. |
---|
249 | |
---|
250 | <li>InnoSetup: UninstallDisplayIcon = {app}\foo.ico (or .exe) | in [Files] ... ; Flags: isreadme | {userdesktop} to add icons | -mail | do we remove file |
---|
251 | associations on uninstall? |
