     4 No particular order.
     6 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
     8 t2p:
    10 * support JPEG (JFIF, EXIF)
    12 * multiple "-b" options on command line
    14 * page labels on command line
    16 * pages containing multiple images
    17     * spec language needs major changes
    18     * split process_page into multiple parts:
    19         * open page
    20         * add image
    21         * close page
    23 * overlay G4 images in different colors - use ImageMask and the fill color
    25 * crop
    27 * page sizes
    28     * metric
    29     * check page size, if off by too much, generate warning message and
    30       use actual scan size
    31     * multiple page sizes, pick the right one?
    33 * range checking
    34     * rotation (0, 90, 180, or 270)
    35     * page number style (D, r, R, a, A)
    37 * watermarking - in image?
    39 * flip, transpose
    41 * support PNG, BMP, and other input file formats
    43 * generate text, line art - option to embed fonts
    45 * bilevel thresholding of color and grey scale input
    47 * automatic separation using timify code from Tim Shoppa?
    49 * automatic image detection using DCT or FFT
    51 * downsampling
    53 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    55 bitblt routines:
    57 * finish optimized bitblt code
    59 * optimize inner loops in flip_h and flip_v with Duff's Device
    61 * check for endian problems
    62     * reading TIFF - don't bit-reverse on big-endian machines
    63     * rle table
    64     * g4_get_pixel()
    65     * g4_find_pixel()
    67 * g4_find_pixel should use native instructions where available
    68     * 386:  BSF  bit scan forward
    69     * PowerPC:  CLTLZ, CNTLZW  count leasing zeros  (CNTLZD 64-bit)
    70     * MC68020:  BFFFO  bit field find first one
    71     * Alpha 21264A:  CTTZ  count trailing zeros
    73 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    75 PDF routines:
    77 [Page numbers refer to _Portable Document Format Reference Manual_ by
    78 Adobe Systems Incorporated, Addison-Wesley, 1993.]
    80 * ModDate and CreationDate keys in Info dict
    82 * ID key in trailer dict
    84 * proper output of real numbers - variable precision, no exponent
    86 * bookmarks (outline) should allow alternate destination specs, currently
    87   only /Fit is supported
    89 * balance pages tree - currently a degenerate single-level tree, but the
    90   PDF spec recommends max. of 6 children per parent
    92 * thumbnails
    94 * PDF Page rotate attribute (p. 53)?
    96 * memory management - need to reference count all structures and free
    97   them as appropriate - not necessary for t2p program
    99 * when an object is written to the file, set a flag to indicate that
   100   it is now immutable
   102 * name trees, number trees - when finalize is called, set immutable flag
   103   and allow no further changes
   105 * buffered streams (vs. current callback mechanism for unbuffered streams)
   107 * add support for streams with multiple filters
   109 * linearize ("optimize")
