Remove this copy constructor, it was only tempoary to try to fix cloning functions written in Python with SIP.

Member hippodraw::FunctionController::addFunction (PlotterBase *plotter, const std::string &name, FunctionRep *frep, DataRep *data_rep)
Check that previously set fixed flags and/or limits get propagated to new linear sum function.

Class Hist1DProjImp
@@@ Want to be able to plot E**2 dN/dE as will as dN/dE. Need to decide if this is part of a histogram class or part of adding columns to the DataSource.

Class Inspector
It would be helpful if the Canvas settings pop-up had an "Apply" button that retiles the canvas, but which does not close the window (or save the configuration). You could just have the "Retile" button serve this purpose by not having it close the window.

Class Inspector
For views that have two histograms overlaid, it would be nice to have a button that returned the KS test statistic and probability that the two data sets are drawn from the same underlying distribution. Not sure what to do if more than two histograms are overlaid or if one of the datareps is not a histogram. Probably best to disable this button.

Class Inspector
In control-left clicking to select a datarep within a given view, it would be useful to have an easier way of returning to the state where no single datarep is selected. Often I have many datareps plotted in a single view, and I want a quick way of restoring the view rather than cycling through all of the reps, possibly overshooting in my haste.

Class Inspector
@@ In zoom/pan mode, still should show high and low of range.

Class Inspector
@@ Set to likelihood fitter when statistics of bins go below some threshold.

On the Stats panel, the radio button entry "Chi-squared statistics of function" should read "Chi-square per dof =" with the value displayed as it is for "Number of entries", "Average x-value", and "Average y-value". Same goes for "Standard deviation of x-value".

Class Inspector
On Stats tabbed panel, it would be nice when selecting text in box that the keyboard focus would go to box and a return with trigger the insertion.

Class Inspector
@@@ Sliders controlling cuts that are plotted on logarithmic x-axes should respond on a logarithmic scale instead of a linear one.

Class Inspector
Hoyle would like one x but 16 channels in Y displayed on one XY plot, but not do it via 16 DataRep objects.

Class Inspector
In the stats summary panel, the description should match the type used by the factory.

Member hippodraw::Inspector::cutNew ()
Be able to add new cut to all DataRep objects contained by the plotter.

Member hippodraw::Inspector::updateCutEnableButton ()
This method seems to get called more than once when adding a cut. Should try to fix that.

Find out what these really are and document them. They might be the gradients.

Member hippodraw::NTupleController::readAsciiNTuple (NTuple *ntuple, const std::string &filename)
If the label for a column is very long, then it is probably an error in the file format. One should raise a dialog if attempting to read from the GUI, or throw an exception if from Python to asked the user to continue or not.

Member hippodraw::NTupleController::readAsciiNTuple (NTuple *ntuple, const std::string &filename)
If line of labels contains no tabs at all, then should probably assume that any white space separates the labels.

Member hippodraw::NTupleController::readAsciiNTuple (NTuple *ntuple, const std::string &filename)
If bad format detected, try to say what was bad.

Class NTupleXML
Need to save shape of NTuple in order to implement saving St2DHistogram.

Class PlotTable
Display TextRep in more friendly way.

Class PlotterBase
Make title of plot optional and not the default. Use the space for plotting.

Member hippodraw::Profile2DProjector::execute ()
Support averaging with a weight.

Class ProfileHist
@ Implement static version. Don't forget to implement Bins1DProfile::setContents().

Class QtDisplay
@@@ Implement constructor that takes as first argument a DataSource/DataArray and if binding is one element, create Histogram, if two, create ColorPlot.

Class QtDisplay
Need to check each method that does a lock to see if an exception could be thrown. If yes, and no try/catch block, then application will hang.

Member hippodraw::QtDisplay::createDisplay (const std::string &type, const DataSource &nt, const std::vector< std::string > &bindings)
Expose to Python the names of the available displays.

Member hippodraw::QtRootNTuple::valueAt (unsigned int row, const std::string &variable)
Should let PyDataSource create the numarray so this class doesn't depend on numarray; as was done for FitsNTuple.
