3 Here is a list of the ways I would like to expand atlc, in a rough order of time.
4 1 Re-enable support for multiple processors.
6 2 Improve accuraracy on transmission lines where there is more
7 than one dielectric - e.g air and PTFE sbustrate board. The
8 current code works, but some improvements could be made.
10 3.Determine the processor type a bit more senisbly in the
11 benchmark called by 'make check'. At present this is likely
12 to return unknown' or a meaningless number on most platforms.
13 It works pretty well on Solaris, Tru64 and HP-UX, but does
16 4.Implement a better way of enabling a user to change the
17 contrast/brightness in an image. Current, this can
18 only be done with the '-f option to atlc, but this
19 requires a re-run of atlc to do this, which is hardly
20 very useful, given atlc is so CPU intensive. There are
21 faster ways of doing this, just from the binary files
22 (example.E.bin, example.Ex.bin, example.Ey.bin, example.U.bin,
23 example.V.bin and example.Er.bin)..
26 5.Get the program 'generate_bmp_for_rect_in_circ' working.
30 If anyone has any suggestions for how to improve atlc, please email me.
