Day by day implementation needs of Gargoyle.
Projects discussed May 4, 1988
Clusters
Like Outlines
Communication between children
Fill Colors of parents and children
Children's children.
Spline Performance
TextToSplines makes lots
Bottleneck
Performance
General
Improving Imager Object Cache.
Multi-line segment cache.
More visible painting (screen to chunking).
Using bitmaps for scrolling (in BufferedRefresh).
Imager.Object indirection.
Multi-Page Gargoyle
Interactive Color
Maple board?
New Imager contexts.
Background in full color. Everything else on overlay.
Color Indirection.
Scripts
Produce a new set of scripts to test:
 1) The correctness of all features.
 2) The performance of critical features.
Important OnGoing Projects
MergeIPEditable should do something sensible with all of Interpress 3.0, including Line Ends. Parity Fill. MaskBits. DrawBits. Clipping. CORRECT operator. -- Bier, November 30, 1986
Get rid of all dependencies of GGEventImplB on AtomButtons by moving AtomButtons calls to GGStateImpl.
Filled boxes, filled with colors, Tioga text, or IP slices
This project would unify the Interpress, and Box slices into a single slice that could be filled with a variety of different media. Text filling of the Box slice class is already implemented.
Gargoyle performance on large scenes.
Easy ways to do common things: arrowheads, ...
Shape libraries ??
An optimized refresh queue.
Currently, we have a "SlackProcess" package that manages a queue of input events. Some of these input events are optional and can be ignored when Gargoyle refresh is falling behind. The proposal is to have a second queue, of refresh events, when some refresh events can be ignored (even though the user actions that generated them could not be ignored).
Recent good ideas from graphic artists. October 15, 1988
Unambiguous unnamed viewers
Link opening/closing/destroying of panel/picture/history viewers
Linked viewers with a single icon
Implement IP heuristic for closed/filled outlines
User operation to put a mark in the history list
Recent good ideas from graphic artists. October 12, 1990
Tools for finding out the color of a pixel (e.g., produced by a wash).
Box creation sized by selecting numbers.
Select multiple numbers at once to add to the Radius alignment menu.
High Priority -- Embarrassing Bugs
When you do Clear/Get/Restore and the picture is iconic, the backing maps are not invalidated and the old picture appears if you grow the icon. Fix by changing the call to ViewerOps.PaintViewer in GGWindowImpl.RestoreScreenAndInvariants to call into GGRefresh instead. Let GGRefresh do the work formerly done by implication by the paint proc. Requires and interface change. KAP March 24, 1989
When old files are read in, the alignment menus come up backwards. -- Bier, April 26, 1988
I'll fix this. -- Bier, August 19, 1988
The attractor feedback appears to over-write the selection feedback in some cases. -- ??? before August 19, 1988.
Shortfalls from the cluster cataclysm
Why does DropAnchor make EDITED=TRUE? Check with Eric.
Color washed clusters may not lock down the color ?? reported by Wallgren
Anchor not in scripted state or file state.
Walking selections at top level unimplemented.
Make Shrink/Grow selection work for joints/segs/cps/
Implement BSorDeleteCaretSeg
Deficiencies: all or nothing refresh.
Frozen unimplemented.
Unmake holes from an outline that is in a cluster loses hotness because GGOutline.SaveSelectionsInOutlineAllClasses only works for top level outlines.
High Priority -- Important Features
Implement a class for MaskPixel calls, so that they can be given a color. -- Murphy, August 1988. DONE (partly, not a class) by Bier, ~ December 1, 1988.
Making separations automatically. -- Wallgren, May 10, 1988
We would like to be able to automatically make separations (e.g., for T-shirts) that use other primaries besides cyan, magenta, yellow. Having chosen a set of printing colors, it would be handy to be able to specify colors that should be made of particular primaries (e.g., solid pantone red, or a mix of pantone red and pantone yellow).
Set/Show Horizontal -- Bier, Before 1988
Allowing the user to redefine "horizontal" to be some arbitrary slope would allow the slope menus to be re-used on rotated images.
Simple arrowheads for straight line segments. Wallgren. January 28, 1987
Arrowheads.
Compute line/spline intersections. -- Bier, May 87.
A SelectWithBox command that selects every part (joint, control point, segment) that is completely contained in the box. This could be used to select 2 or more joints that occupy the same point. -- Kessler, February 5, 1987, Wallgren, April 88.
Box Select should extend the current selection. -- Bier, April 1986
Gargoyle should report the number of objects that are in the scene (after Get, Merge, Save, and Store) and should report the number of objects selected after select and extend select.
An Imager.Object cache of single segment trajectories. -- Bier, June 87
Optical scaling. -- Bier, November 8, 1987
Provide a mode. If optical scaling is ON, both the scale in the Transform menu and interactive scale would scale line widths as well as centerline geometry. What to do with skewing is a tricky question.
Command Line operators, GGApplyScript that applies a named script to named files and GGFromIP that creates a set of gargoyle files from a set of name interpress files. -- Wallgren, August 1988
MatchSelectedRGB should capture the input focus, so that it can be immediately followed by coloring operations that use a color palette. -- Wallgren, August 1988.
Integrate Eisenman's DrawCurve function. The Adobe style stuff is hard to use. -- Wallgren, August 1988.
Implement the box selection commands indicated below. -- ?? before August 19, 1988
Single Left Middle Right 
Plain: SelectJoint SelectSegment ExtendSelect
Shift: CaretPos AddLine AddBezier
Ctrl: Drag Rotate Scale

High Priority -- Code Structuring
GGSequence.NextSegment and GGSlice.NextSegment should be merged (and do the right thing regardless of how the SegGenerator was formed!) -- Kurlander, August 6, 1987
High Priority -- Performance
Many event routines that process the current selection don't check for NoSelections to avoid extra refresh calls. They should. -- ???, before August 19, 1988
Many event routines that process a subset based on type (e.g. $Text) of the current selection don't specify the type when calling GGSelect.SelectedSlices. They should. -- ???, before August 19, 1988
Put a Delete benchmark in GGPerformance.
Implement fast gravity for conics using algorithms suggested by Vaugh Pratt. -- bier, January 15, 1988
GGTrajImpl.Filein should be fixed to use something faster than GGTrajImpl.AddSegment, since a large amount of time is being spent translating segments.
Make the color display work as fast as the Mac II. -- Wallgren, August 1988
Easy
Have the viewer show something less obnoxious than "THIS VIEWER NO PICTURE". -- Wallgren, August 1988
In the Units Menu, add a 0.1 inch button. -- Wallgren, April 1988.
In the Units Menu, allow architectural scale, such as 1 foot = 1/4 inch, where the alignment menus are then thought of as feet by the designer, but represent fractions of 1/4 inch internally.
Add a grid slice class. -- Bier, 1986
Update GGModelTypes.SceneObj to refer to GGSceneType.
Boxes should draw themselves as a single MaskStroke if all strokes are the same. -- Bier, April 1987.
Mirror and Scale Menu Ops should use the bounding box centerlines when there is no anchor.
Add ButtEnd, MiterEnd, RoundEnd, SquareJoint, BevelJoint, RoundJoint buttons to the Stroke Menu.
Moderate Priority -- Bugs
Selection cycling is lost after Extend selection. KAP. October 15, 1988
SelectEntireSlice should SetExtendMode[ggData, slice], but doesn't have ggData.
Save/Restore anchor orientation in GG file.
MergeIPEditable on user-defined fonts doesn't work.
Typing text sometimes shows control point feedback. It shouldn't. Bier, March 3, 1987.
Replace Segment only works for lines and Bezier segments. The other curve types just move a control point to the caret. -- Stone
AreaSelectNewWithDelete deletes more than it has to.
You click Save, then the [Edited] status does not change to [Saving], you click Store then the [Edited] status never changes. Beach, 22 Jan 87
Mitered joint bound boxes are wrong.
Adding a joint next to a hot joint makes the joint cold.
AtomButtons.BuildEnumTypeSelection doesn't fail gracefully when the button name specified in the default field is not in also in the buttonNames argument. resulted in Viewer LockUp! convention that the first name in the buttonNames list is also the default? -- kurlander, 24 Aug 87
Moderate Priority -- Features
Show the default font and color and allow the user to set it using the same operations as for regular font and color setting.
Have SelectUnseeableObjects do a better job by using zero area code from SVPolygon2dImpl.SignedArea
Separator tool, like Adobe Illustrator. -- August 25, 1988
Allow a "pixel picking" command that identifies the color underneath the cursor. -- Wallgren, August 1988
Provide a "perspective" transformation command, that allows objects to be transformed in a non-affine manner. -- Wallgren, August 1988.
Have viewers and control panels open and close as a unit. -- Wallgren, August 1988
A MergeAll button that merges objects to the bottom of the overlap order, instead of the top. -- Wallgren, August 1988.
A way to round the corners of Box slices. -- Wallgren, August 1988.
Wrap Text onto arcs. -- Wallgren, August 1988
Wrap Text onto arbitrary curves. -- Wallgren, April 88
Washes that follow arbitrary curves. -- Wallgren, August 1988
A "Cut" operation which adds a joint wherever a special object (perhaps selected last) intersects the selected objects, and deletes that joint. This will lead to an implementation for the Interpress clipping operation.
Add a page number option to the Interpress Menu to read a particular page of a multi-page master (just read in page 1 to start with). Store this page number in the .gargoyle file.
Multi-page gargoyle files. -- Wallgren, Aug 87.
Allow fractions in buttons, e.g. "1/18" to be added by the user. -- Before, before June 87
Add single step replay capability to session logs.
The ability to change the hue of a set of selected objects, while leaving the saturation and value of each individual object as it is. Also, the ability to rotate the hue relative to its current value rather than setting it to a particular hue. Wallgren and Bier, Aug. 87.
Drop shadows that don't optically scale. -- Wallgren, Aug 87.
Group membership should not be copied. -- Wallgren, Aug 87.
Reinstitute thicker-lines feedback for selected segments. -- Kurlander, Aug. 87.
A DunnSnap button. Wallgren. July 10, 1987.
A Print button. Wallgren. July 10, 1987.
Compute the intersection of alignment lines with trajectories (i.e. all Segment Classes).
During rotate, caret should stick to selected point and track the circle of rotation. [I will automatically draw the circle of rotation. That is more general. Bier] --Atkinson, before November 30, 1986
Make filled outlines appear not filled during dragging. This will allow some performance optimizations in GGRefresh.
Rotate-Drag operation (combines both).
Show the origin of arcs (for Eric).
Automatic alignments are a new type of alignment, not triggered by hot objects.
Make GGEvent.Make(All)Hot incrementally update trigger bags for slices as well as sequences.
Improve the Gargoyle FSM so the during part of adding and dragging are optional -- Bier, November 30, 1986.
CloseWithSegment should not be able to create illegal trajectories. -- Bier
Add functionality to make it possible to select an opaque fence (or a slice) by clicking in its interior. Objects actually in the interior would take selection precedence. Selecting thru holes would get the object(s) underneath. Could not select objects filled with "none" -- Beach
Make a way to select the "interior" of an IPSlice when not near an edge -- Wyatt
Extending selection to large number of circles slows way down. This is because every circle is redrawn twice (DuringExtend and EndExtend) for every extend operation. Can this be done incrementally when extending, since you know it only adds selections. [Will be done when we add a backing bitMap for selection feedback] -- Beach
Use the NEXT/ShNEXT key to move the (latest) selection around an object. Move to next joint/previous joint, etc. Help solve ambiguity problems when joints overlap. [Good idea. Bier] --Atkinson
Moderate Priority -- Code Structuring
Move FeatureData definition to GGInterfaceTypes. Bier, March 11, 1987
Moderate Priority -- Performance
Implement a ContinueCaretPos that works like ContinueAdd.
Dragging a joint should be fast for unfilled, closed, outlines.
Low Priority
Tiling pattern generation facility, like Adobe Illustrator. -- Bier, August 25, 1988
Symmetry operations and alignment lines. -- Bier, before June, 1987
Have the Help menu remember the last number used as a argument to a button (such as 15 degrees, or a scale factor of 2) and use this number until another number is specified. -- Wallgren, August 19, 1988
Provide operations that derive a perspective 3D view from several projections, using simple rules. -- Wallgren, April 26, 1988
Store entire GG state including hot objects in .gargoyle files. -- Pier, mid 1987.
An automatic corner-rounding operation. -- Steve Wallgren, June 26, 1987
Single-point trajectories.
Absolute Coordinates as alignment triggers.
Distinguish between Deselect where not selected is an ERROR, and EnsureNotSelected, where it is OK.
Have a keystroke to move the caret to the midpoint of the currently selected segment --Atkinson
Make Cntrl/ShSpace kill gravity only for the current operation, not permanently. -- Wyatt
Cyclic B-Splines don't appear to close properly. -- Crow
Closed, smooth curves (cyclic splines) probably don't work, right? We need them for Griffin compatibility -- Stone
Trying different curve formulations repeatedly on the same curve makes a more complicated curve. -- Crow
Close should work on all selected trajectories, not just the chair. -- Bier
Consolidate GGVector and Vector2. -- Bier
On circles and conics, once you click Conic or Arc on the menu, select the control point, since moving that point seems to be the most common thing one wants to do next. -- Stone
Document the Gargoyle action atoms so users can put them in their own tip tables. -- Beach
Integrated 3D (for Eric). -- Bier, December 2, 1986
The gravity value graphics button now moves right for increasing values of gravity and left for decreasing values of gravity. Well then, how about a better graphic? Maybe even just curving the left wall of the button would indicate which way the ``surface'' was. Maybe you need a graphic of a tractor beam coming out of the left wall to indicate which way the ``suck'' is? -- PeterKessler, 31 Aug 87

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

Selection Modes. (e.g. what level do you extend to). Done.
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
New extend selection scheme using META key. DONE

little fixups to user interface. DONE
eliminate interactive AddCircle; move to shapes menu. DONE
Add Box to shapes menu. DONE
changed name and sex of QuickPaint to ShowColors everywhere in code. DONE
New kind of META extensions plus retaining old kind of interTrajectory extensions. DONE
add GG state to filin/fileout. Done.

Store slopes, radii, angles, and line distances in .gargoyle files. 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
The Hierarchy menu should be updated to mention CTRL-W on the Weld entry. DONE
Everything should be able to be typed in and read out: FontNames, linewidths, colors. DONE

Gravity Bug: Square from shapes memory has ghost segment parallel to the left edge FIXED
Draw Control Points of Slices separately. DONE
Change outline field to parent in trajectory data types. 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.
Atkinson: Precision is lost because viewers hold rounded off values, so Add loses precision while Get keeps precision. DONE. KAP. August 19, 1986
Rename Outline.whyOnOverlay to Outline.movingParts. Done. Bier, September, 1986
Make some Gargoyle user profile entries. Done. Bier, October, 1986
Traj-Alignment intersections. Released initial verson. Early October, 1986. Bier.
Spreitzer: CopyAndDrag destroys the ordering of parts. Fixed. Bier, Sept. 1986
Sturgis, 3 Sep 86: A warning in the tutorial about how to get alignment buttons back after you have deleted them. Done. Sep 86. Bier.
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!

DropAnchor not guarded against No Caret.
Guard all user operations from no GG selections
Guard all user operations from no Tioga selection
Change all messages to initially display menu string used to invoke the operation.
