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>Check skip blank pages works (checked printps)...
63
64<li>printdm: put standard scaling in print.ini for canon bj
65(work out what's up with vertical size...)
66
67</ul>
68
69<H2>Documentation</H2>
70
71<ul>
72
73<li>Platform specific versions of docs?
74
75<li>Put more terms in terminology in docs ? trip, instrument, ...
76
77<li>Finish off manual loose ends.
78
79<li>Look at using docbook2man instead of docbook-to-man (command is
80<i>nsgmls man_aven.sgml | sgmlspl /usr/lib/perl5/sgmlspl-specs/docbook2man-spec.pl</i>)
81
82<li>Make sure there's documentation for all the various settings in print.ini
83(colours aren't documented at present)
84
85</ul>
86
87<H2>Survex file format</H2>
88
89<ul>
90
91<li>flag legs as "skeletal" or something? (i.e. not in the cave passage) -
92e.g. a radiolocation leg from one passage to another isn't surface,
93but it isn't in the cave itself either (it's through rock).  You could
94just call it surface but maybe later we want to use the surface
95flag to produce points for a surface triangulation...
96
97<li>?outlaw prefixes on stations in data legs (as Todd has lobbied for)
98and then the prefix of a leg == prefix of each end...?
99
100<li>comma separated dates in *date?
101
102<li>Find a solution to Thilo's "." problem.
103
104<li>Units in *fix (currently metres)
105
106</ul>
107
108<H2>Internationalisation and Localisation</H2>
109
110<ul>
111
112<li>extract help screen from caverot.c for translation
113
114<li>quotes in messages - translate too? e.g. `XXX' to « XXX ».  Eric
115suggests not in French.
116
117<li>extract --help messages for translation.
118
119<li>control of output units in .err file and in stats at end of cavern run?
120In fact anywhere we report a value in degrees or metres, the units should be
121selectable
122
123</ul>
124
125<H2>Test Suite</H2>
126
127<ul>
128
129<li>test diving data with compass omitted (plumbed)
130
131<li>more tests for direction
132
133<li>improve 3d torture test and try to automate its use if possible.
134
135<li>Compass .mak and .plt and CMAP .xyz in test suite?
136
137<li>img.c: test routines in test suite?
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>caverot: on RISC OS now fall back to using 2 or even just one screen
156bank if we can't find a mode where we can create 3 banks [FIXME: need
157to test this works]
158
159<li>Allow extend (or printing of extend) to unfold right-left instead of
160left to right?
161
162<li>flag nosurvey legs in .3d file
163
164<li>sort out title which goes in .3d file for this (if no *includes in ...
165it gets the title of the leafname of this .svx file, otherwise it's the
166leafnames of the *include-d files, comma-separated):
167
168<pre>
169*begin mycave
170*title "My Cave"
171...
172*end mycave
173</pre>
174
175<li>make img more modular (convert to C++?)
176
177<li>add support for .KST?  Gary says documentation is out of date, and recent
178releases of winkarst have broken .KST export/import...
179
180<li>resolve documentation/examples mismatch for station based .XYZ files and
181implement reading of legs from them.
182
183<li>diffpos: compare connectivity (i.e legs as well as stations) - e.g.
184
185<pre>
186foo.1 moved by (0.02, 0.10, -0.06)
187leg between foo.1 and bar.2 removed
188...
189bar.2 moved by (-0.02, -0.05, 0.03)
190</pre>
191
192<li>improve .plt export to include less crude survey structure.
193
194<li>v4 .3d format?
195
196<li>MacOS X packaging
197
198<li>look at solution by QR factorisation in matrix.c more
199
200<li>consider disabling the more expensive asserts - turning them all off
201speeds up cavern by about 10%.
202
203<li>InnoSetup: UninstallDisplayIcon = {app}\foo.ico (or .exe) | in [Files] ... ; Flags: isreadme | {userdesktop} to add icons | -mail | do we remove file
204 associations on uninstall?
205</ul>
