-BUGS
-----
-o Some invalid DXF data gets pass the import checks and breaks the tessing code
-o Broken polyhedron() entities are not correctly detected and cause CGAL segfaults
-o Tesselation via GLU sometimes produces strange results
-o Non-manifold objects make CGAL crash (e.g. two cubes which touch at one edge)
-o Export STL: Exports existing CGAL model even though the current model is changed, but not CGAL rendered
-
-USER INTERFACE
---------------
-o Preferences
- - Beautify color schemes
- - Color schemes read from file
- - Color scheme editor
- - wireframe width
- - pointsize
- - OpenGL params
- - Default language feature settings
- - Auto-view CSG/thrown together on load
-o Export etc.: automatically add missing extension as in SaveAs
-o MDI
- - Think about how to do MDI the right way
- - Ctrl-W should close the current dialog, not the current main window
- -> implement as for Preferences?
- - Menu bar handling:
- Mac: share menubar among all top-level windows?
-o 3D View
- - Improve mouse rotation
- - Add modifier key combos to handle pan on 1 mouse button systems
- - Show grid
- - 4 x split view w/orthogonal cameras?
- - Quick highlighting of object under the cursor in the editor
- - View All
- - overlay indicator displaying current view mode
-o Editor
- - Autocompletion/hints for builtin (and user-defined) functions/modules
- - builtin quick function reference/help
- - Drawer/popup with all modules/functions listed which can be inserted into
- the editor by clicking or drag&drop -> icons in toolbar?
- -> This would be moving in the direction of a traditional CAD GUI
- and needs a fair bit of thinking.
- - More infrastructur for external editor (or is the reload good enough?)
- - Evaluate QCodeEdit (http://qcodeedit.edyuk.org)
- - Display some kind of line wrap indicator
- - Couple the source code to the AST to allow highlighting selected elements
- in the source code in the 3D view
-o Misc
- - Reload and compile: Ask for confirmation if file is locally edited
- (make this configurable in preferences?)
- - Save: Ask for confirmation if file has been externaly changed
- - Rename OpenCSG and CGAL to smth. not specific to the underlying libraries
- (e.g Preview, Render)
-
-ENGINE
-------
-o Primitives
- - Springs, spirals (requested by Cathal Garvey)
- - (TTF) Text
-o 2D Subsystem
- - Add generic 3D->2D projection statements
- - 2D->3D using clipping plane
- - Performance: Is it necessary to union children before extrusion
- when compiling? Can this be postponed to CGAL evaluation time?
-o Built-in modules
- - extrude*: Allow the base 2D primitive to have a Z value
-o Advanced Transformations
- - Add statement for 2D and 3D minkowski sum
- - Add statement for refinement via surface subdivision
- - Add statement for intersections in cartesian product of childs
-o Function-Module-Interface
- - Pass a module instanciation to a function (e.g. for a volume() function)
- - Pass a function to a module instanciation (e.g. for dynamic extrusion paths)
-o Language Frontend
- - Allow local variables and functions everywhere (not only on module level)
-o DXF Import
- - Support for POLYLINE entity
- - Support for SPLINE entity
- - Support for LEADER entity
- - Support for MTEXT entity ?
- - idea: DXF inline - convert from dxf to OpenSCAD syntax -> parametrize dxf content
-o Mesh optimization on STL export
- - Remove super small triangles (all sides are short)
- - Replace super thin triangles (one h is short)
-o Misc
- - Add symbolic colors to the color() statement
- - Go through default values of parameters (e.g. cube() has x,y,z=1 while linear_extrude() has height=100)
-o Grammar
- - dim->name -> dim->label
- - A random(seed) function
- - import_*() -> *_import() (consistent prefix vs. postfix)
- - linear_extrude()/rotate_extrude(): Cumbersome names? -> (extrude, revolve, lathe, sweep ?)
-
-CODE
-----
-
-o Refactor from MainWindow:
- - Fix current_win hack
- - CSG data structure (compiled model)
- - CGAL data structure (compiled model)
-o C++-ify
- - Use smart pointers where it makes sense (e.g. instead of homegrown refcount,
- and to get memory ownership under control)
- - Use static_cast instead of C-style casts
-o dxflinextrude and dxfrotextrude could share code
-o Consider decoupling DXF-specific functionality from the 2D subsystem
-o Make the interfaces from OpenSCAD and OpenCSG and CGAL cleaner to facilitate
- experimentation with other frameworks (ref. Nef_polyhedron_2() problems)
-
-INFRASTRUCTURE
---------------
-o Think about making external libraries easier available. Probably mostly convenience.
-o Use a logging framework to get debugging/info output more under control?
- (check log4j, google project)
-
-MISC
-----
-o Collect "all" available OpenSCAD scripts from the internets and batch convert them
- to STL to assist with robustness testing.
-o Mac OS X:
- - universal binary -> fix cgal and opencsg
