List of Rocs ToDos

Codebase Work

Cleanup of plugin system
- Plugin Capabilities with respect to supported features: data types, pointer types (creation and/or only modification?), groups, etc.
- Localization
- Add plugin version for all plugin backends
consistently use KUrl for all file pathes
use KMimeTypes for file extensions
use KIO to allow access of remote files
use shared pointers for document objects

Current status for graph file format backends.

File Format	Unsupported Features	Documentation (complete, incomplete, missing)	Unit Tests (complete or list of missing features)	Notes
Dot	XML labels, non-ascii identifiers	missing	nearly all example files could be parsed, but not functionality tests exist yet	missing features documented in dotGrammar.cpp
TGF	-	complete	complete	maybe add example files
GML	???.	missing	very basic tests	-
KML	???	missing	very basic tests	-
TikZ (export only)	???	missing	very basic tests	-
Rocs internal	???	missing	basic tests	-

Graph Copy/Duplication
- drag/drop
- copy subgraph
- script interfaces to copy? (Andreas: one of my students has such a use case while simulating changes on a graph; together with an invisibility toggle it could be a nice feature...)
Script Execution
- Snapshot and Recover Functionality
- Replay Function
Script Console: allow graph modification by single commands (similar like in Maple or Cantor)

TODO: add option to automatically give each node a name after creation (e.g., like "a,b,c..." or "1,2,3...")
Copy and Paste for graphs, subgraphs, data elements

TODO: add switch to allow different edge style for directed edges (current style makes problems to recognize structure of larger graphs)

Implement concept for visual graph editor toolbar (similar like in Inkscape)
TODO: Animations on the nodes and edges. ( fade in when they are placed on the canvas, fade out when they are removed. ) doesn't need to be a huge thing, but a small fade in is better on the eyes.
Add Create Graph Wizard
TODO: add a "recently used" option for loading

re-enable Kross iff it is stable enough for us
code-completion
show line numbers
copy graph/data structure capability (useful?)
add configuration options:
- indentation
- show line numbers
- get inspired by what the kdevelop guys did :-)
Graph Plugin
- function to compute graph diameter

prepare testing document
add unit tests for
- every functionality documented
- script functions
Load/Save testing
- test for all standard values
- test for edge values (Andreas: they vanish in one of my work files when loading)
- data structure plugin settings (Andreas: one of my students noticed problems s.t. the plugin value is not stored/loaded correctly)
- create test suite with graph files from all Rocs version the current file format should support
