! Note !
More 'tkGooie' 'to-do' projects are to be added here
in the future --- and, when a project is implemented,
it may be removed from this page, and a link
to its code (and description) may be added on a
'tools'-group page available via the
FE 'tkGooies' Description & Code-Samples page.

This page MAY get quite out-of-date as I prioritize
working on coding more tkGooies. In any case,
this page gives a rough idea of what I have planned.

(SKIP THIS INTRO)

INTRODUCTION :
This page is an FE 'tkGooies' To-Do List --- organized into the categories of 'apps' in the tkGooie 'toolchests'.

'tkGooies' is a subsystem in the family of Freedom Environment subsystems, at www.freedomenv.com.
The 'tkGooies' system is composed of Tk GUI scripts which can be implemented in stand-alone mode, but are also released as 'apps' in a package of 'toolchests' (menus).
The menus are organized into functional categories, with each script accessible via a 'drawer' in the 'toolchest' system.

Brief descriptions of Tk scripts that I plan to write for the 'tkGooies' subsystem--- in the 2019-2022 time frame (and, hopefully, beyond) --- are listed below --- within the 'toolchest' categories.
The scripts may be listed within each toolchest-category in the order in which I plan to implement them --- highest priority first.
I have no doubt that I will often be distracted by 'shiny objects' (other scripts that I would like to write).
So the 'planned order' below is likely to have some insertions and reorganizations as programming (and life) unfolds.

Method of release of these 'tkGooie' scripts :
Typically, I make a 'first release' of each of the scripts by

posting the code (with plenty of descriptive text) on a 'tkGooies' CODE-category web page

AND

putting the code in a development version of the 'tkGooies' FE system.

When I have accumulated significant changes to the development 'tkGooies' system, I package the development 'tkGooies' system in a self-extracting install file, and I make the install file available via the 'tkGooies' DOWNLOAD web page.
After a new 'tkGooie' release is posted to the DOWNLOAD page, I intend to move the 'implemented-script' descriptions (and any associated web-links) from this page to a 'tkGooies' 'RELEASED-List' page --- which is also organized in functional (toolchest, menu) categories.
That 'RELEASED-List' page will be used to provide an overview (on one page) of the numbers of scripts released in each toolchest-category --- and a total number of 'tkGooie' scripts.
I use the term 'RELEASED' rather than 'DONE', because the 'tkGooies' are not immune to future enhancements.

The need(s) to re-visit OLD 'tkGooies'
As I work through the 'to-do' NEW-script items below, I may also be working on the following tasks on OLD-scripts:

Add an 'aRtext' array to about 30 'OLD' tkGooies, to facilitate 'internationalizing' the text in labels, buttons, etc.

Add a 'Help' button to most of the tkGooie scripts that do not have one --- and provide the 'HELPtext' for that button.

Make sure 'expr' statements use braces to improve execution time --- especially for any 'expr' statement in double-loops over pixels in images in the 'IMAGEtools' scripts.
Example:
Rather than
set deltax [expr $xPx - $x0Px]
use
set deltax [expr {$xPx - $x0Px}]

Review the 'procs' in quite a few 'tkGooie' scripts to simplify the code for re-sizing the top-level window of a GUI --- by use of the simple statement:
wm geometry . {}
Reference:
The 1994 book by John Ousterhout,
'Tcl and the Tk Toolkit', page 237.

Change the 'Color-selection' buttons in many 'OLD' tkGooie scripts to display the currently selected color as the color of the button.

Implement many of the 'proposed enhancements' that were documented for almost every 'tkGooie' when I first published it.

Timeframe (hopes and dreams)
I hope to have a major portion of the tkGooies 'to-do' items released by 2024.
Around the years 2020 to 2022, I hope to be able to feel that the 'tkGooies' system is becoming a 'mature' system --- with more than 150 tkGooie scripts released and with most of my planned enhancements to those scripts implemented --- so that I can think of most of the scripts as being in a 'pretty polished' state.

End of Table of Contents.

Start of the tkGooie 'to-do' sections.

The '3Dtools' TO-DO LIST :

Create a 3D TERRAIN-GENERATOR from '.hgt' (binary) terrain data files
--- by translation of the binary data into 3D model files in ASCII OBJ file format ---with the option of writing sub-sections of the '.hgt' file to the OBJ file.

Create a 3D Point-Cloud Viewer (that reads vertex records in OBJ file or PLY file format).

(Allow for selected display of vertex identifiers/numbers --- by number-range or z-depth or some other selection method.)

Create a 3D MODEL FILES TRANSLATOR --- between OBJ, PLY, OFF, STL-ascii files
--- for the vertex and polygon data --- i.e. nodes-and-connectivity data --- NOT textures, materials, etc.
--- based on the file-reading routines in the 3D Model File Reader-Examiner FE tkGooie.

Create a MOLECULE DISPLAY utility that reads atomic spatial data from a standard molecular-data file format such as ASCII PDB files.

Create a MOLECULE DISPLAY utility that reads atomic spatial data from a standard molecular-data file format such as ASCII '.mol' MDL files.

Create a MOLECULE DISPLAY utility that reads atomic spatial data from a standard molecular-data file format such as ASCII XYZ chemical files.

Create a 3D SURFACE-GENERATOR which facilitates picking 'height-points' (and polygons, like triangles and rectangles) on images and assigning a height to the picked points
--- on contour maps or other types of images, such as images of people's faces or images of alphanumeric (and special) characters.

(This utility would write the data to a 3D model file, say in OBJ file format.)

Create a 3D 'point cloud' Display-and-CreatePolygons utility --- with OBJ file in and OBJ file out.

Create a 3D Model File Report Generator --- giving Vertex-Edge-Polygon relationship listings.

Create a 3D Model File 'Touch-Up' Editor - to manually combine mesh elements and/or refine meshes.

Create an Image-PointAndPolygon-Picker and 3D-Model-File Generator -
Examples:
contour maps to 3D terrain files --- or
alphanumeric characters/fonts (in image files) to 3D model files
--- or photo images (such as people faces) to 3D model files.

Create a utility to do Gouraud-like shading (color interpolation) in 2D triangles and quadrilaterals of a 3D model on a Tk canvas (using colors specified at vertices).

Create a utility to do Texture (image) Mapping to polygons of a 3D model file on a Tk canvas.

Create a utility to generate Color Arrays and show them as stacks of colored rectangles --- for example, for use in coloring 3D terrain models.

Create a 3D auto-mesh-enhancement (refinement) utility for 3D model files, like OBJ files.

Create a 3D auto-mesh-'decimation' (reduction) utility for 3D model files, like OBJ files.

Create a Tcl-Tk GUI utility to EXTRACT POINTS-AND-FACES DATA from 'simple' VRML1 (and SGI Inventor) files, more or less 'cleanly', into an OBJ file.

If the VRML 1.0 specifications link above, at graphcomp.com, goes dead, try this VRML1 link at paulbourke.net.

Create a Tcl-Tk GUI utility to EXTRACT POINTS-AND-FACES DATA from 'simple' VRML2 (Moving World) files, more or less 'cleanly', into an OBJ file.

(It was idiotic that the VRML2 Architecture Group chose to use the same file suffix, '.wrl', and the same name, VRML, for two different file formats.
VRML1 is NOT a subset of VRML2 ... in general function perhaps, but NOT in internal record format.
They should have clarified the situation for everybody by not using the word VRML for VRML2 files. They should have used a new suffix, like '.mw', for 'Moving Worlds' files.
What a mess that VRML2 'group' caused!)

and still more '3Dtools' to-do items to come

tkImageMapper_ SphericalCoordsToPolyhedronPolygons
--- for applying a map (like a flat Mercator map) to the surface polygons of a polyhedron like an octagon or an icosahedron or a dodecahedron.
For example, put a world-map image onto an unfolded set of triangles.

(On the other hand, weight, a force, of an object is proportional to the mass of the object.)

(It took Newton to sort out a lot of the nuances of gravity and in the process explain a lot of natural phenomena --- tides, comets, planetary motions, etc.)

(Note that this 'IMAGEanimations' toolchest script could also be an option on the 'PHYSICStools' and 'MATHtools' toolchests.)

Create a better animated abstract 'visualizer'
(than my initial attempt with 'create line' on a Tk canvas)
--- to be driven by data from some source --- such as

by audio-file-playback (like in the 'Totem', alias 'Gnome Videos', media player), or

by network-interface-activity, or

by CPU activity, or

by a random-number generator (initially, for development-testing)

(Note that this 'IMAGEanimations' toolchest script could also be an option on the 'AUDIOtools' and 'SYSTEMtools' toolchests.)

Create a nonLinear equation solver
--- for either f(x)=0 or f(x,y)=g(x,y)=0 ---
using a binary search (alias bisection) method.

Create a nonlinear equation solver using the Newton-Raphson method.
Reference: 'Newton-Raphson Equation Solver' at wiki.tck.tk.

Create 'tkOscilloscope' to emulate the working of an oscilloscope in generating various wave-forms --- to experiment with dynamic curves in 'the plane'.

(This script may also appear as an option in the 'IMAGEanimations' sub-toolchest of the 'IMAGEtools' toolchest.)

RESOURCES for the tkGooies 'To-Do' List :
Some resources (web links and locally-stored documents) for reference in coding the projects in this 'to do' list are available on a 'tkGooies' Resources web page.
Since web links go dead so frequently, I try to choose web links that are likely to be around for at least a few years (from the date I post them).
And, to have more long-lasting sources of information, I store some reference documents (often in the form of PDF files) on this Freedom Environment web site.
I occasionally look for information that will help me code specific Tcl-Tk scripts via a web search on keywords like 'map projection algorithm'.
I may use results of queries like this to populate the 'tkGooies Resources' web page mentioned above.
Here is a Menu of Web Searchers --- to help in finding more coding info for making 'tkGooies'.

Some MATHtools goals
In the course of developing these demos, I hope to develop some algorithms (in Tcl-Tk procs) that make it easy to perform geometric constructions.
Example:
A generalized proc for creating a line perpendicular to a given line and passing through a given point.
By developing a library of utility procs like that, it will hopefully become easier and easier to develop demos of math theorems, math results, math proofs, math facts, and math truths.
In fact, it may become possible to put together an 'interactive geometry system' somewhat like some that are listed at a Wikipedia list of interactive geometry software.
Or, at least, I should be able to show that Tcl-Tk is so flexible that one can perform demos in ways that are not available with any (or most) of these interactive-geometry software systems.
A paraphrase:
"Math longa. Vita brevis est."
From:
"Ars longa. Vita brevis est."
Meanings:
"Math lives on. Life is short."
and
"Art lives on. Life is short."
I want to use Tcl-Tk to help 'Math live on' --- in very pleasing ways.
