	VGTS Wish List
	---- ---- ----

      Bill Nowicki June, 1983


Bug fixes and half-implemented features:

- Selecting pads does not always work right
- get sync errors when typing ahead doing getevents.
- Clean up xmax and ymax on CallSymbol: not needed
- fix up simple text width calculation
- Mouse control: clean up local/remote dichotomy
- Mouse Status should block until mouse moves
- Complete the V I/O protocol interface to the VGTS
	- Store and set Owners for instances
	- Check block numbers
	- One instance for each direction
- Return the string in remote Inquire Items
- add delete VGT and SDF commands to view manager
- check out Mogul and DRK's bugs (robustness checking?)
- Highlight selected Views' banners

Additional functionality:

- Integrate a line editor (more input cooking)
- use typedata for lines to mean white, black, XOR, etc.
- variable font pads, change pad size after creation
- blinking objects
- Nested clipping regions ("windows in windows")
- Hit sensitivity control (get rid of HILIGHT hack)
- Local Editing and reading back edited symbols
- Circles (like splines?)

More general issues:

- Animated objects (rubber banding, dragging)
- SUN Color board implementation
- DEC VS100 implementation
- AED512 or Grinnell implementation
- IRIS implementation (color)
- store all pad output on files
- redisplay of non-top-level symbols
- Caching large SDFs
- Generalizd figure paramters
- Scaling symbols (multiplies!)
- Connection points
- Program control of viewing; customization
- Core or GKS compatibility
- Environmental inquiry (extension/subsets)
- Symbol name scoping, libraries (ala Grapple)
- Standard user interface (menu packages, etc.)

Documentation issues:
- Proposal
- Add examples to current spec in server manual
- Synchronize spec and reality
- Conference of Journal Paper
- ? Thesis ?
