| 18 |  * \section future-refactoring Refactoring the code
 | 
|---|
| 19 |  *
 | 
|---|
| 20 |  * Here is a list of what pieces of the code should be refactored to make them
 | 
|---|
| 21 |  * easier to use:
 | 
|---|
| 22 |  * - Tesselation and related classes: Especially, the removing and adding of
 | 
|---|
| 23 |  *  nodes is not fully (and correctly) implemented, see the regression tests
 | 
|---|
| 24 |  *  on convex(!) envelopes (non-convex are working).
 | 
|---|
| 25 |  * - all internal, non-atom related information of FormatParser's should be
 | 
|---|
| 26 |  *  stored in FormatParserParameters (e.g. AtomData line of tremolo)
 | 
|---|
| 27 |  *
 | 
|---|
| 28 |  * \section future-extension Extending the code
 | 
|---|
| 29 |  *
 | 
|---|
| 30 |  * Here the list of what should be implemented to make the code more powerful
 | 
|---|
| 31 |  * and just makes sense given the current constructs.
 | 
|---|
| 32 |  * - BondGraph should be updataeable. As above it should listen the Worlds'
 | 
|---|
| 33 |  *  notifications and so on (also Cachable ...)
 | 
|---|
| 34 |  * - Tesselation should be a Shape: Such that it can be used for Fillings.
 | 
|---|
| 35 |  * - Tesselation should be loadable/storable from/to file: One the one hand
 | 
|---|
| 36 |  *  this could mean \ref serialization but rather \b .3ds or another file
 | 
|---|
| 37 |  *  format such that structures can filled with some external program and
 | 
|---|
| 38 |  *  filled with a certain algorithm later-on.
 | 
|---|
| 39 |  * - Tesselation: Extend such that the created surface can be pushed away from
 | 
|---|
| 40 |  *  the atoms to resemble the molecular surface (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_surface)
 | 
|---|
| 41 |  * - all Actions regarding Filling: Filling should be generalized as to get a
 | 
|---|
| 42 |  *  shape and vector of atoms and to do something with it. Especially, not a
 | 
|---|
| 43 |  *  new Action but a token that just tells how to fill and a factory pattern
 | 
|---|
| 44 |  *  behind it that spits out the algorithm how to do it.
 | 
|---|
| 45 |  * - molecule's should also contain the bounding box. This would allow to use
 | 
|---|
| 46 |  *  them as crystallic unit cells.
