    INTRODUCTION
	This file contains a collection of things that are missing or not
	handled cleanly in ART, and should therefore be improved.  As opposed
	to the file 'Projects.html' this contains structural improvements
	that are not self-contained additions to ART.
  ____________________________________________________________________________

    GENERAL
	Add error handling to 'ArpCoder' and 'ArpStream'
		At the moment the Coder objects do not care at all if there
		was an error when reading from or writing to a stream.  This
		should be improved, in order to report an error to the user,
		so that the source of the problem can be narrowed down.

    BASE
	
	Writing Options to a file
		Add functionality to read and write option values from a
		file.

    MATH
	
	Sturm sequences for Roots 	

    GRAPHICS
        
	Flesh out IC[234] and IG[234]D
    
	Flesh out Box2D

    OBJECTIVE

	ArtObject
		rename from current ART_OBJECT, use NSObject name conventions
    
    VALUE

	Better Noise Function
		The current noise function still displays artefacts
		due to its grid implementation.

    RAYCASTING

	Make hit-epsilon depend on the size of the scene
		eg. 1/10000th of bounding box size, but what about small
		scenes with light sources that are very far away?

    RENDERING

	Near plane improvement
		Place it automatically based on an analysis of the nearest
		object in the viewing frustum. Nevertheless calculate
		materialFilterAndColor from eye point to near plane.
