Removed m_LabelCacheNotInvalidated code - I've got a more cunning plan...

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: locked surveys don't disabled keyboard version of all actions that are
21disabled in the menus...
22
23<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.
24
25<li>aven: possible mysterious problem with [ and ] not zooming to screen centre
26- not reproducible, probably fixed or just Ol's fevered imagination...
27
28<li>img.c: eliminate duplicate img_LABELs when reading .PLT files.
29
30</ul>
31
32<H2>Aven</H2>
33
34<ul>
35
36<li>within types, sort labels by whether they are currently displayed, so that
37a currently displayed label has priority over a non-displayed one when we work
38out which to display.
39
40<li>sort out free rotation mode (e.g. "Plan" doesn't quite work...)
41
42<li>by default put crosses on those points with no legs attached (unused
43fixed points)?
44
45<li>label junctions/dead ends?
46
47<li>colour by traverse
48
49<li>section colouring/selective labelling
50
51<li>clipping - want to select a clip sphere (or maybe cube) centred on
52centre on rotation I think.
53
54<li>colour by cave (and more generally by sub-prefix):
55"aven --survey 161 --colour-by-sub-prefix all.3d" would result in
56lhroute, rhroute, adrian, etc all getting different colours...
57
58<li>check on monochrome displays - especially that depth colouring
59looks OK
60
61<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
62not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
63Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
64it depends on the redraw?
65
66<li>Some way to display all the names of an equated station (e.g. in pop-up
67window or the info panel).
68
69<li>Highlight a whole survey by clicking on it in the tree...
70
71<li>aven for MSDOS?
72
73</ul>
74
75<H2>Printing</H2>
76
77<ul>
78
79<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
80
81<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
82(work out what's up with vertical size...)
83
84</ul>
85
86<H2>Documentation</H2>
87
88<ul>
89
90<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
91
92<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
93
94<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
95
96<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
97<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
98
99</ul>
100
101<H2>Survex file format</H2>
102
103<ul>
104
105<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
106e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
107but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
108just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
109flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
110
111<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
112and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
113
114<li>comma separated dates in *date?
115
116<li>Allow "*exportall" or similar?  Leandro's point about "maze caves" -
117just saying "don't use *export" is unhelpful if someone connects a
118cave with *export to one without...
119
120<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
121
122<li>LRUD?
123
124<li>Backsights and multiple readings
125
126</ul>
127
128<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
129
130<ul>
131
132<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
133
134<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
135suggests not in French.
136
137<li>extract --help messages for translation.
138
139</ul>
140
141<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
142
143<ul>
144
145<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
146
147<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
148
149<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
150identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
151
152<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
153stats.
154
155<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
156
157<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
158
159<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
160
161<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
162bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
163to test this works]
164
165<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
166left to right?
167
168<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
169autorun for MS Windows?
170
171<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
172
173<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
174
175<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
176it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
177leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
178
179<pre>
180*begin mycave
181*title "My Cave"
182...
183*end mycave
184</pre>
185
186<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
187
188<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
189
190<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
191
192<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
193non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
194others?)
195
196<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
197releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
198
199<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
200implement reading of legs from them.
201
202<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
203
204<pre>
205foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
206leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
207...
208bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
209</pre>
210
211<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
212
213<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
214
215<li>v4 .3d format?
216
217<li>MacOS X packaging
218
219<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
220</ul>
