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