55Revisit the subtab scheme and consider Scott's suggestion of having "basic" and "advanced" tabsScottopen12/11/15 
61Investigate use of ForceRender() in render classes (e.g. arrowrenderer) in the context of a overall GUI architecture design review that includes the control execjohnopen1/7/16Works in general. Exception is edits to transfer function window, which for some reason aren't propagating up events to main QWidget. Hence, ForceRender still exists in this code.

Defaults will only apply to some settings, indicated by an asterick, etc.alanopen8/19/15Discussion needed, e.g. what settings will get asterisks?  Which sub-tabs will get the buttons? Will make-default apply to the whole tab or just the sub-tab?
60Refactor dynamic memory use in params and supporting (i.e. XmlNode) classes so that memory is freed by memory creator (current scheme has leaks).Johnopen1/7/16
