A more extensive list, together with target timescales and notes on the progress towards completion, is available in the to-do list at the development site (<a href="http://gri.sourceforge.net">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://gri.sourceforge.net</code></font>'</a>), which is also the place to go if you have suggestions for other changes to Gri. <p> <b>High priority</b> <p> <ol> <p> <li> Change `<font color="#82140F"><code>set axes style</code></font>' from number-based selection to word-based selection, and print a deprecation warning if the number-based syntax is used. <p> <li> Make `<font color="#82140F"><code>open</code></font>' handle URL addresses. <p> <li> Switch from `<font color="#82140F"><code>tmpname</code></font>' to `<font color="#82140F"><code>mkstemp</code></font>' subroutine, for temporary filenames. <p> <li> Switch to `<font color="#82140F"><code>popt</code></font>' library for the processing of command-line options. (Docs on this are at <a href="http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/popt">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://cvs.gnome.org/lxr/source/popt</code></font>'</a>.) <p> <li> Add readline support, to handle history, command-line editing, etc, for interactive usage (Docs on this are at <a href="http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/readline/readline.html">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://cnswww.cns.cwru.edu/~chet/readline/readline.html</code></font>'</a>.) <p> </ol> <p> <b>Medium priority</b> <p> <ol> <p> <li> Add optimal interpolation as another method for gridding data (see <a href="Convert.html#ConvertColumnsToGrid">Convert Columns To Grid</a>). <p> <li> Add ability to read PNG images (see <a href="Read.html#ReadImage">Read Image</a>) (Docs on this are at <a href="http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/">`<font color="#82140F"><code>http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/</code></font>'</a>.) <p> </ol> <p> <b>Low priority</b> <p> <ol> <p> <li> Add non-RPN mathematics. <p> <li> Add graphical output to the screen as commands are executed. <p> <li> Add support for both little-endian and big-endian binary data. <p> </ol> <p> </table> <img src="./resources/bottom_banner.gif" usemap="#navigate_bottom" border="0"> </body> </html>
