* Add TexGen icon as bookmark for web browsers - '''Done!'''
 
* Export to VTK files - '''Done!'''

* Add ability to set textile name in the 2d weave wizard
* Write custom control for 2d weave and 3d weave wizard (will replace current toggle buttons on 2d weave wizard) - '''Done!'''
 
* 3d weave wizard should contain top down view and cross section view. Cross section position selected from top down view and weave pattern controlled from cross section view. - '''Done!'''
 
* Move pattern control out of the weave wizard and put it in a resizable window of its own.
 
 
* Memory management, may want to think about how the textile and yarn classes are stored. Currently the yarn has no knowledge of its parent. This can be troublesome for some functions. It is often useful for the yarn to have access to information about the textile it belongs to. Consider adding a parameter to yarn which points back to its parent. This removes the ability for the yarn to be copied, however this is not such a big deal anyway. There are few cases when this is necessary or useful.

** Create a new class containing information about the textile. - '''Done!'''
 
** Store all information in SI units, have function to set values. Each function should have a second parameter that specifies what unit it is given in. - '''Done!'''
 
** If information is not given it should be clear that it is not (i.e. set to 0 for example only if 0 would not be a valid value) - '''Done!'''
 
** The units in which the textile is measured in will need to be specified because this will impact upon volume calculated, etc... - '''Done!'''

** Store fibre count + fibre diameter separately - '''Done!'''
 
** Make gui window for viewing and setting properties
