old wishlist items

[fstonedahl]

== Wish-list features ==

• extra support for making movies? (not clear - probably not needed...)
• option for only creating a scene file, without actually running povray. (nice file names, instead of temp files?)
• In general, support NetLogo 2D shapes in POVRAY (either flattened like the butterfly, or stand-up images like wolves & sheep.)
• appropriate separation of location data from 3D shape prototypes.
• support turtle-trails drawing? maybe we don't care enough about that.
• customize "map_type xxx" to image_map, based on shape?
• Install POVRay on a mac, using fink? Or using macports? (Macports we ran into a "missing java headers" issue trying to install db46). :-(
• Consider the idea of archetypes -- for each breed (sheep, wolves) or object type (turtles patches), can we create a template object in the POVRay file that contains all of the attributes (color, size, texture) that the breed has in common? (This would make it easier to manually edit the POV file, for power users.)

Both STAMP and turtle pen trails in 3D are now supported. (2D drawing layer is not however... but I think that would be VERY hard to support.)
