Feedback to show what's hot.
DONE
FOR
JOINTS.
Bug: once a segment is hot, a joint cannot be made hot in the same trajectory, NOT in the same segment. DONE
make WeldToSelf => A special close operation which doesn't add any segments. It checks to see if the two ends of the selected open trajectory are coincident, and then throws one out and makes the role be fence. This will require implementing the procedure GGObjects.Weld for the case when fixed and moving are the same traj. DONE
Implement the Get command in addition to Merge. DONE
Implement the Reset command. DONE
I like to distinguish between angles and slopes. Slopes are always positive. Angles, being the difference between two slopes can be either. I still get negative slopes when I measure DONE
The caret moves to the Weld point on a Weld operation. DONE
Implement color to color tool for copying colors around. DONE
Fast box select: The area select menu is better than nothing, but everyone will soon wish that there was a rubberbanding box, as in PreView. DONE. use Plain Double Right for SelectWithBox
Windows should be initialized (all alignments off, heuristics in a known state), as part of the OpenLog, PlayLog, and FastPlay commands (for Eric to do). -- DONE

filin/fileout is badly broken. Check everything. -- DONE. New incompatible formats
Holes adjust their trajs to anti-clockwise -- DONE
Text is still too slow. We need a fast case for when text is added to the topmost overlap order. -- DONE
make SlowPaint not paint redundantly -- DONE
Make sure session logs don't say they're done until they are. Make them flush the queue on abort. -- Done, Bier, July 7, 1986

Bullet Proof against obsolete sequences (for Eric). Done.
Fix FSM so that dragging the mouse out of the GG viewer before completing an operation causes an ABORT when the user returns to the GG viewer (for Eric). Done.
Put backslashes in text strings before fileout (or find a proc that already does). DONE
User message if ColorTool or Combiner are not loaded when ColorToolFill or Combine is invoked. DONE
Include control points in Clockwise test, so that holes made of two arcs will always work properly. DONE
Segment split: Add a new joint in the middle of an existing segment. Start with a Split entry in the Hierarchy menu; later this should probably be bound to a mouse button. Reasonable behaviour for straight segments is easy. Other segments will be more difficult. DONE
UNDELETE. One level undelete DONE.
Fix the fast clicks misinterpreted as double clicks problem. Experiment with TIP table. DONE
Extend selection of control points not working. DONE
Dynamic recalculation of wrap direction of holes. DONE

Make sure TopLevelSelect doesn't bomb when you are over a control point. DONE
Add an accelerator for MakeAllCold. DONE
Make the anchor gravity active. DONE (but not real clean)
The Gargoyle icon needs a border around it, or the desktop background. DONE.
The Gargoyle tutorial refers to [Cyan]<Gargoyle> instead of the CedarChest version. DONE.
In [Pop Up Menus], the phrase "If the first click is made with the right mouse button" should clariify that it refers to clicking over the menu name and not any object in the menu! DONE.
Close should not add zero length segments. DONE.
Find window.log DONE
The stationary parts of boxes and circles should trigger alignments while other parts move. DONE.
change keep to 2 on gargoyle files. DONE

Move TYPE SegmentGenerator and SequenceGenerator and JointGenerator to GGSequence. DONE.
Fix the "ABORT log" bug with gargoyleData.aborted set. DONE
Closing Trajectories. Check to see if the endpoints are already touching. DONE
Wyatt: Trajectories reverting from splines to joints get double joints on each end. Kurlander fixed this. DONE.
Wyatt: DuringScale crossing anchor blows up. Fix: Ignore DuringScale.newVector if it is tiny. DONE.
Pier: Segment select over smalles possible box blows up. Fix: don't allow it. DONE.
Wyatt: ScreenStyle button push during Session logging blows up EnterAction. DONE.
Wyatt: two alignment circles were almost identical but passed the coincident test in SameCircle. However, the intersection calculation blew up trying to take SqrRt of a negative number. Propose fix: have SameCircle use Real.AlmostEqual instead of =. Look around for similar problems with = compare of reals. DONE.
Beach: Phantom hot objects from boxes that were made hot and later deleted. Fix: DeselectEntityAllClasses must be called before any DeleteSlice. DeleteSlice currently can only delete an entire slice (no parts). FIXED.
Bier: The new text slices are not gravity active for purposes of dragging. I haven't tried to find out why yet. DONE
Bier: TEXT: You can make the joints hot and the hot squares appear, but they don't trigger alignments. DONE
Stone: Changing curve types loses stroke width and color. FIXED.
Beach: Add Frame to Shapes Menu (a box: 8.5" X 11" at origin) DONE
Beach: Add PreviousPlace function, analogous to Tioga. Have to remember what an "operation" is (BiScrollers operations are not operations; selection is not an operation, ....) DONE
Ken: Maybe Abort! should abort painting. ShiftSWAT aborts painting, playback, gravtesting. DONE
Ken: Add a STUFF button to go directly from GG to Tioga. DONE
Stone: Using the splines, it is essential to be able to remove the control points. Otherwise, you can't really see the shape of the curve DONE
Stone: It would be nice to have a way to turn the control points of a spline back into joints OR a way to splice control points into splines. DONE
Stone: Need a way to put points in the scene and make them hot. Maybe use grid points which can be selected and heated like joints. DONE
Stone: On closed, smooth curves the first/last point doesn't always show as a control point. You folks XORing somewhere? DONE
Bier: Performance Bug: DeselectTopLevel with crowded scene DONE.
Bier: Get should load the alignment lines from the file and clear the ones already there. DONE
Bier: Clear and Reset should do the right thing re: alignment lines DONE
Bier: Maybe button: Restore Default Alignments => just like a blank viewer
DONE
Restore File Alignments => just like after reading file DONE
Bier: Fix typescripts so a new one opens if the old one has gone away, and so that gargoyleData is not needed by the mechanism. No need. DONE.

Crow: The 8.5 x 11 shape appears in a strange place (apparently some 40 inches below the current working area after something has already been drawn). It doesn't appear to do anything if there is nothing yet drawn. Added documentation. Bier, October 19, 1986.
Atkinson: Make caret snap to nearest control point or joint during trajectory/topLevel selects. Currently only snaps to joints. Done. Kurlander. Aug 86.
Stone: When selecting a control point near an endpoint, the closest endpoint is often selected, as if there were a routine checking for that case first, and using a more powerful gravity function for it. An artifact of PreferPoints? Done. Kurlander. Aug 86.
Maybe move Abort checking to SlackProcess instead of PaintProc ?? Done. Pier Nov. 86
There is an enormous performance bug when hit testing while any circle is in the scene with any of its control points selected! I haven't tried to find it yet.Done. Pier Nov. 86
Pier: BoxMovingParts is too conservative and wrong for the case of a single edge plus its two corners moving.
Pier: Bad performance bug for caret motions along trajectory whenever a circle is present and one or more of its joints is selected!

WYSIWYG display mode isn't. Pier, June 16, 1987 DONE.
Fill: FollowColorTool. Seems to work no longer. -- Bloomenthal, 20 Aug 87 DONE.
Copy and Drag with Text. The file /qv/mackinlay/gargoyle/jdmvocab.gargoyle did it. It has text in the Lucida font but I had not done ImagerIKtypeface so the font was substituted. When I tried to copy-drag the word "color" the bug manifested. It worked just fine when the font was not substituted. -- mackinlay, 1 Sep 87. DONE
Put Box accelerator on PlainRight in Shapes menu. Bier. October 12, 1987 DONE. KAP.

Fix bad storage leaks. Add MakeSceneGarbage to GGScene and implement. Call by GGEventImplD.ClearAux. In turn calls GGSceneImpl.MakeEntityListGarbage once for each scene stack entry and for the scene itself. Modify GGSceneImpl.PopScene to garbage the current scene before popping. This should take care of destroying circular structures during Get, Reset, Clear. DONE. Pier. November 12, 1987
The 6 point transformation opens an ERROR window when a degenerate transformation is requested. An error message would be more polite. Eisenman. November 6, 1987. DONE.
Clean up quick click mode to have the right sex. DONE. Pier. November 12, 1987
Doing a Get on a gargoyle file with Store-By-Reference Interpress Slice, gives you a picture with no Interpress Slice instead of giving you an Interpress Slice with an empty ImagerMemory. DONE. Pier. November 12, 1987

Have ContinueAdd build the foreground bitmap incrementally. -- DONE, Bier, early 1988
UNDO. -- Done, Pier, August 19, 1988
Incremental foreground updating fails after extending joint selection to other trajectories and dragging. Alignment lines are in the bag, but only the first selected segment triggers are displayed in the foreground. Eric FIXED
If "Gargoyle Filename" is invoked and then type-ahead continued in the command tool, the input focus switches into the history tool, even if the tool is created iconic. The tool builder code does not explicitly capture the input focus. Weird! FIXED.
FastPlayback is broken. Does this mean SurpressRefresh is broken? No. ClearAux was resetting SurpressRefresh FIXED
MergeOptions fails to merge defaults and other options. FIXED
Items from the cluster cataclysm, December 15, 1988:
