11
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 - perhaps like so:
111<pre>
112*calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25}
1131 2 10.23 {000 001} -02
1142 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05}
1153 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03}
116</pre>
117Also, should we add "*set bra {", "*set ket }" or similar?  Or is *set kind
118of deprecated?  Implement as extension to number format?  Then we can easily
119allow any suitable numeric value to be repeated, but bear in mind that bearings
120don't average like normal numbers...
121</ul>
122
123<H2>Internationalisation</H2>
124
125<ul>
126
127<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
128
129<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
130suggests not in French.
131
132<li>extract --help messages for translation.
133
134</ul>
135
136<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
137
138<ul>
139
140<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
141
142<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
143
144<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
145identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
146
147<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
148stats.
149
150<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
151
152<li>tests for direction - should direction work in non-interleaved data?
153
154<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
155
156<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
157bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
158to test this works]
159
160<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
161left to right?
162
163<li>ISO image?  structure debian packages on it as an apt source.
164autorun for MS Windows?
165
166<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
167
168<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
169
170<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
171it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
172leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
173
174<pre>
175*begin mycave
176*title "My Cave"
177...
178*end mycave
179</pre>
180
181<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
182
183<li>.plt and .xyz in test suite?
184
185<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
186
187<li>install file associations for .PLT and .XYZ (check: if we install a
188non-default right button menu action, does it become default if there are no
189others?)
190
191<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
192releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
193
194<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
195implement reading of legs from them.
196
197<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
198
199<pre>
200foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
201leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
202...
203bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
204</pre>
205
206<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
207
208<li>tidy up documentation of v3 .3d format and put into manual appendix
209
210<li>v4 .3d format?
211
212<li>MacOS X packaging
213
214<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
215</ul>
