TODO:
- style module:
- make dash length available
- text module:
- repair PDF generation with unincluded standard fonts (currently broken)
- SlantFont & Co support
- keep an eye on PEP 324 (popen 5): it could make the texrunner much easier
- discuss reltransform: https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=9137692&forum_id=23700
- add encoding; check whether encoding=ascii works well for the common existing cases
- write graphics driver for pgf.sty from LaTeX
- ignore "(Please type a command or say `\end')" in preamble method
- properly handle file names with spaces in (like "C:\program files\texmf\tex\latex\base\article.cls" in
texmessage.load
- graph.graph module
- common bboxes for different graphs
- 3d graphs, circular graphs
- axis painter labelattrs=None + automatic axis partitioning leads to no valid partitioning
- when all titles are None, a graph key currently raises an exception
- translatecanvas should be the default in graph.style.symbol
- automatic scaling of y-axis according to subset of data shown on x-axis
- graph.axis.timeaxis.timetick must not override datetime.datetime __init__ method (since datetime.datetime
instances are immutable like ints)
- graph.style and graph.data modules
- fix docu of gridattrs functionality of axis painters
(how can one, e.g. draw a grid at the ticks and not at the subticks)
- make graph.style.symbol.diamond a graph.style.symbol instance (to be discussed)
- graph.data module:
- use csv module (new in 2.3)
- Check for "inf" and "nan" in datafiles.
(When plotted, the graph does not complain, but the output will be broken;
this depends on the plattform and is not only an issue within the graph system)
- graph.style module:
- add styles using curves instead of lines
- graph.texter module:
- rename period argument of decimal texters to recurring_decimal or something similar (as pointed out
by Tim Head)

- deformer module:
- move helper path routines to some more generic place for paths?
- pdffile module needed (similar to epsfile)
- open discussion:
- clearly distingish between readers and writers. dvifile, epsfile, etc. might
be renamed to dvireader, epsreader ...
- support gsave and grestore in some way to make context handling easier?
- ps/pdfwriters:
- support colorspace argument (like c.writeEPSfile("bla", colorspace="cmyk"))
- move pyx.def, lfs-files etc. into a new share directory
- write fakepattern.py which substitutes some of the pattern functionality using
re-usable canvases
- libkpathsea bindung:
- create a ctypes based binding to replace the extension module implementation in the long
Documentation:
- path module:
- describe + vs << vs join

- set method
- pattern module:

- graphics section:
Changeable attributes should be explained at a central place.
- box module:

userfriendly and not to describe immediately the internals of the implementation:
(see e.g. class.style.symbol)
- document interface to access tick positions
Examples:
- add an epsfile example (suggested by Stathis Sideris)

- manual line clipping (do not include unneeded line segments when the
axis range is set manually etc.)
- automatic file key titles
- graph.data now also includes the old data module
- data.list adds (by default) a line number like data.file
(thus regular columns are counted from 1)
- path:
- added new pathels multilineto_pt and multicurveto which allows to specify
a list of points and can thus be much more efficient
- internal methods return coordinates in pts
- arclentoparam returns only parameters not total length
- added path.arclength_pt, path.at_pt, path.begin_pt, path.end_pt (and

- set, draw, stroke and fill no longer return self, i.e., the canvas, but None
- bbox module:
- added inplace add (__iadd__), enlarge and transform methods
- callers use inplace add where possible now (yielding a considerable
speedup)
- "undefined" corners of bounding boxes are no longer supported which makes
the bounding box operations much more efficient.
