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 - |
