# todo(3caca)

TODO list

## NAME

todo - TODO list

## libcucul

### API-dependent stuff

- •

  support for holes in canvas (eg. not full EOL)

- •

  support for TAB

- •

  allow to change the canvas size in a per-frame basis.

- •

  export attribute parsing functions such as attr\_to\_ansi4fg etc.

### API-independent stuff

- •

  Brightness, contrast support for bitmaps (the functions are here, we just need to fill them)

- •

  Error distribution dithering

- •

  Add a random factor to the random ditherer. No need to change the API for that, we can just pass `'random:10'` instead of `"random"` to the cucul\_set\_bitmap\_dithering() function.

- •

  Implement the colour modes set in cucul\_set\_bitmap\_color(). For the moment only `"full16"` and `"16"` are implemented.

- •

  Fix the thin ellipse rendering (currently it's only \|s and -s, we could make them smoother by using ' \` , etc).

- •

  better mask support in **cucul\_blit()**

- •

  optimise exporters so that they do not allocate huge blocks of memory when they only need half of it.

## libcaca

### API-dependent stuff

- •

  beep support

### API-independent stuff

- •

  Write a Linux console output

  Better keyboard driver in an X terminal, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/zepp/message/381

- •

  Unicode support for X11 (maybe through Xft)

- •

  fix Unicode support for ncurses (look at the nano source, it gets it right)

- •

  and Jylam wants a framebuffer output

- •

  write sample code for a text edit widget with cursor support

## Language bindings

### Needed

- •

  Fix Python

- •

  Fix Perl

- •

  C# (it's the next big thing, believe me)

- •

  PHP (together with the HTML output it would allow for nice web applications)

### Not that important

- •

  Ruby

- •

  Java

## Kernel mode

- •

  keyboard support

- •

  printf/fprintf are missing

- •

  Improve malloc/free so that we can reuse freed memory

## Documentation

- •

  Write a tutorial.

- •

  Draw a nicer logo

## Applications

## cacaview

- •

  File browser

- •

  open ANSI files

- •

  save in different formats

## cacadraw

- •

  Only a skeleton exists yet. A modern ANSI editor that can also do Unicode.
