|---|
| 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. |
