Start reviewing the Archer TODO - most of these are done, so start boiling it
down to what still needs to be looked at.

Create New Database | DONE
Open Existing Database | DONE
(command line needs opendb)
-Import Database | dbconcat available on command
line, no menu options as in MGED
-Export Database | keep available on command line, no
GUI menu options
-Load Script | no GUI dialog available, presumably
command line works?
-Raytrace Control Panel | DONE - reworked panel in Archer,
improved on MGED version
-Render View options | Will become Export View - INCOMPLETE
+Import Database | DONE
(dbconcat available on command line)
+Export Database | DONE (keep
available on command line)
+Load Script | DONE (source
available on command line)
+Raytrace Control Panel | DONE (some
options in Preferences dialog, rest can be achieved using command line rt
command)
+Render View options | PARTIAL - saveview, not sure
about plot and postscript output
Preferences->Units | DONE
-Preferences->Command Line Edit | Add to Preferences panel under the
General tab
+Preferences->Command Line Edit | DONE (in
preferences panel)
Preferences->Special Characters | Refers to globbing - per Bob this is
currently being handled per
| command in Archer, so a global setting
may not make sense. A
| possible alternative is to have two
lists of commands - globbing
| and non-globbing - and the ability to
select and move them from
| one list to the other (kind of like
traditional ftp clients) in
| a Preferences tab
-Preferences->Colors | Handled in local per-topic
preferences
+Preferences->Colors | DONE (Handled
in local per-topic preferences)
Preferences->Fonts | INCOMPLETE, lower
priority
-Create/Update .mgedrc | .archerrc exists, needs to be
expanded as more preferences are
- | implemented in Archer - ONGOING
-Clear Command Window | clear command works on command line,
Menu item judged not
- | necessary - DONE
+Create/Update .mgedrc | INCOMPLETE -
.archerrc exists, needs to be expanded as more preferences are implemented in
Archer - ONGOING
+Clear Command Window | DONE (clear
on command line)
Exit | DONE
-Primitive Selection | Need to integrate this functionality
into the "component pick"
- | button - straightforward enough,
button already reports what is
- | "picked" and just needs to do the
internal logic to focus the
- | pick for editing operations
-Matrix Selection | Some work needed to do this correctly
- implement a matrix
- | tab that is shown for every object in
the right panel, which will
- | have controls to set things like
translation vectors and rotations
- | to generate the matrices that hang
"above" objects. Do NOT, at
- | the GUI level, allow direct numerical
editing of matrix values - that
- | is an invitation to invalid matrices
and not especially intuitive.
+Primitive Selection | DONE
+Matrix Selection | NEED TO TEST
| Ensure working command line level
functionality for direct matrix
| manipulation if needed. For items
without a matrix show the tab with
| either no values specified or the
identity matrix as the starting
| template. Full functionality here
will require "limited xpush"
| abilities - xpushing only to a
specified depth, and possibly some
| awareness of full path targets vs.
toplevel targets.
-Primitive Editor | Functionality covered elsewhere, can
be dangerous in that it accepts
- | invalid inputs - remove
-Combination Editor | Functionality covered in General tab
for objects in right panel,
- | except need color picker for rgb
attribute - remove as separate entity
-Attribute Editor | This is a more general case of what
is currently the General tab in
+Primitive Editor | DONE
(functionality covered elsewhere)
+Combination Editor | DONE (more
GUI work would be good, but basic features present)
+Attribute Editor | DONE (can be
done with attr command)
+ | This is a more general case of what
is currently the General tab in
| Archer for objects - make this into a
CAD widget with the layout of
| the General tab and the functionality
of the Attribute editor -
| General tab will become Attribute tab.
Will need to be able to
| customize the standard attribute/value
display to support things like
| the color picker for rgb attribute
-Geometry Browser | Functionality should be covered by
tree viewer - to ensure proper
- | ability to easily select objects, need
tabbed tree view widget with
- | multiple trees - the current global
tree in one tab, a flat list of
- | all objects in another (e.g. like the
output of ls - select any item
- | as a tree root node), in another
display tree(s) currently visible in
- | display (similar to what who outputs,
just with the ability to expand
- | trees). Probably some other possible
modes to explore, even make
- | configurable.
-Create Primitives | This functionality will be handled by
the graphical primitive buttons
- | make them into drop-down lists
categorized like the MGED Create
- | Primitive menu, hopefully with example
images for all types.
-View | DONE
(duplicated elsewhere)
-ViewRing | Useful aspects handled by loadview and
saveview - may be worth reworking
- | later but not a high priority
currently.
+Geometry Browser | DONE (Archer
tree view)
+Create Primitives | DONE
(drop-down in toolbar, need better icon)
+View | DONE
(duplicated elsewhere)
+ViewRing | DONE (Useful
aspects handled by loadview and saveview)
Settings -> Mouse Behavior | Per item breakdown:
- Pick Edit Primitive | Replaced by combination of "component
pick" button and tree widget
- Pick Edit Matrix | Replaced by matrix tab discussed under
"Matrix Selection" item
- Pick Edit Combination | Replaced by combination of "component
pick" button and tree widget
- Sweep Raytrace-Rect. | INCOMPLETE (will be handled
differently in the UI as well, not under Settings)
- Pick Raytrace Objects | REMOVE
- Query Ray | INCOMPLETE (nirt functionality exists,
need mouse mode)
- Sweep Paint Rectangle | Incorporate into Sweep Raytrace-Rect.
functionality
- Sweep Zoom Rectangle | Need to see if this can be integrated
as an option to the scale mode -
- | possibly as a left mouse button option
to drag a rectangle to "zoom" to
+ Pick Edit Primitive | DONE
(Replaced by combination of "component pick" button and tree widget)
+ Pick Edit Matrix | DONE
(Replaced by matrix tab discussed under "Matrix Selection" item)
+ Pick Edit Combination | DONE
(Replaced by combination of "component pick" button and tree widget)

raytraced image provides all this data, use image editor to get sub-sections.)

+ Query Ray | DONE (should
improve GUI)
+ Sweep Paint Rectangle | DONE (removed)
+ Sweep Zoom Rectangle | INCOMPLETE - Need to
see if this can be integrated as an option to the scale mode
Settings -> Transform | Angle/Distance Cursor not implemented
yet - needs documentation as well

some though on how to integrate it.
Settings -> Rotate About | Save ability to rotate around view
and maybe a specified keypoint to allow
| for flexibility
Settings -> Active Pane | DONE

specifically asked for - relates to multipane settings

of edit panel)

area, bottom)

Other Issues
------------
-* archer html documentation refers to an 'ae' command, yet only 'aet'
- exists. either the docs need updating or ae added.
-
-* opendb command doesn't seem to be available.
-
-* archer reports "invalid command" on 'aet' and other commands until a
- database is opened. it shouldn't.
-
* archer doesn't have the -c option to run command-line or sans Tk - need to
"port"
archer to the C code startup that MGED uses - some preliminary work has been
done,
but needs to be made more robust and tested.
-* add ability to undo transaction sets
+* add ability to undo transaction sets - long term feature that needs libged
transactions mechanism
-* handle situation where undo history uses up available memory (delete oldest
entries?)
-
-* move undo transaction support to libged level
-
Tests to Pass
-------------
* The merged Archer/MGED app needs to be able to pass all the regression
tests currently passed by MGED
-
-New Features
-------------
-
-* undo ability for selection sequences, other actions currently assumed to not
change
- the db geometry (may be a natural consequence of transactional libged
commands?)
