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<li>multiple readings:
25<p>
26average bearings specially - they don't average like normal numbers
27<p>
28%age gradients should probably average the same as angle gradients
29<p>
30Document - works like so:
31<pre>
32*set open {
33*set close }
34*calibrate compass {000.5 001.0 001.25}
351 2 10.23 {000 001} -02
362 3 {10.16 10.17} 127 {+06 +05}
373 4 11.98 007 {+03 +03}
38</pre>
39Implement as extension to number format so any suitable numeric value to be
40repeated?
41</ul>
42
43<H2>Aven</H2>
44
45<ul>
46
47<li>check on monochrome, 16, and 256 colour displays - especially that depth
48colouring looks OK
49
50<li>Feed back redraw time to key based movement as in caverot?  Or perhaps best
51not to?  It depends on whether we expect people to hold down keys or not...
52Perhaps something smart where the first press is a fixed size, then after that
53it depends on the redraw?
54
55<li>aven for MSDOS?
56</ul>
57
58<H2>Printing</H2>
59
60<ul>
61
62<li>aven: Finish adding calls to msg() so messages can be translated.
63
64<li>aven: tilt and rot should be floating point values, not integers...
65
66<li>aven: Implement "print clipped to what's in the window".
67
68<li>aven: the preview window should display all the pages in one window,
69    arranged in an n x m grid.  We should be able to do this by subclassing
70    wxPreviewFrame and overriding CreateCanvas.  And CreateControlBar too
71    perhaps, though we could just make the page nav buttons scroll the
72    window to show that page.
73
74<li>aven: Once the above is done, the user should be able to enable/disable
75    pages by clicking on them like in Toporobot (or on checkboxes next to
76    them?)  It would also be nice to be able to drag the survey around relative
77    to the pages so that page breaks can be moved to the least awkward
78    positions...
79
80<li>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
81
82<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
83(work out what's up with vertical size...)
84
85</ul>
86
87<H2>Documentation</H2>
88
89<ul>
90
91<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
92
93<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
94
95<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
96
97<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
98<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>).  Issues are: double space between sentences is lost;
99double blank lines appear in output; &amp;bsol; isn't understood.
100
101<li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini
102(colours aren't documented at present)
103
104</ul>
105
106<H2>Survex file format</H2>
107
108<ul>
109
110<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
111e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
112but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
113just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
114flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
115
116<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
117and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
118
119<li>comma separated dates in *date?
120
121<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
122
123<li>Units in *fix (currently metres)
124
125</ul>
126
127<H2>Internationalisation and Localisation</H2>
128
129<ul>
130
131<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
132
133<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
134suggests not in French.
135
136<li>extract --help messages for translation.
137
138<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
139In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be
140selectable
141
142</ul>
143
144<H2>Test Suite</H2>
145
146<ul>
147
148<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
149
150<li>more tests for direction
151
152<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
153
154<li>Compass .mak and .plt and CMAP .xyz in test suite?
155
156<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
157
158</ul>
159
160<H2>Miscellaneous</H2>
161
162<ul>
163
164<li>resolve entries in TODO; resolve FIXMEs in code
165
166<li>Default variance for topofil counter? (currently same as that of tape)
167
168<li>Rather than forming a linked list of components, solve each as it is
169identified?  Beware of issues like those that revcomplist test checks.
170
171<li>Don't split other traverses at articulating traverses when reporting error
172stats.
173
174<li>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
175bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
176to test this works]
177
178<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
179left to right?
180
181<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
182
183<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
184it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
185leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
186
187<pre>
188*begin mycave
189*title "My Cave"
190...
191*end mycave
192</pre>
193
194<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
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>v4 .3d format?
214
215<li>MacOS X packaging
216
217<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
218
219<li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off
220speeds up cavern by about 10%.
221
222<li>InnoSetup: UninstallDisplayIcon = {app}\foo.ico (or .exe) | in [Files] ... ; Flags: isreadme | {userdesktop} to add icons | -mail | do we remove file
223 associations on uninstall?
224</ul>
