The diff mode (option in left toolbar) was never a differential display mode.
It is actually an option to force the alpha channel (opacity) of layer colors
to a given value.
So change the name and tool tips to force opacity mode, and make the opacity
parameter adjustable in preferences.
Gerbview: cleanup: remove a old and dead code.
Gerbview did not handle redefinition of variable like $3 = $3 / 2
This redefinition is sometimes found in Gerber files.
This is a long standing issue now fixed.
Fixes#7222https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7222
Mainly CacheTriangulation() was creating triangles using partition mode.
But this mode is optimized for Pcbnew and Gerbview and different internal units.
Now CacheTriangulation() is used in no partition, much faster in GERBVIEW_PAINTER.
Fixes#11549https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11549
Previously, the count of segments used a magic number optimized for Pcbnew.
This is not good, and does not work well on Gerbview.
The count uses now a max error acceptable is approximation (5 microns in Gerbview and Pcbnew).
Fixes#9101https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9101
Previously, draw coordinates (and especially cache triangulation) were rebuild
each time the polygon was redraw. They are now cached. This is a significant
speed up, especially when a polygon is highlighted.
EDA_ITEM is a child of VIEW_ITEM, so a static_cast is not appropriate,
since in some cases it could be called with a non-EDA_ITEM argument.
This was triggering an ASAN heap-buffer-overflow in GerbView.
The issue for the grid color was due to the fact there are 2 places to
store the color: the color settings and the m_gridColor GERBVIEW_FRAME member.
The worksheet color (color set to RED after a color change in layer render)
is a bit strange: looks like LAYER_GERBVIEW_WORKSHEET and LAYER_WORKSHEET
are both used to draw the worksheet.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
This is the first step to allowing non-segments in the line chain.
External routines cannot be allowed to change the line chain without
going through the internal routines. To accomplish this, we remove the
Vertex() and Point() access routines and only leave the const versions.
Transformations are given for both points as well as the chain itself.
The pointer passing for display options is deprecated. This removes the
excess casting as the EDA_FRAME didn't need the base call with no value.
All requests for display options are now returned const and are updated
with a Set() routine after modification.
In Gerbview, this resolves an issue where the display options were not
stored because it was receiving the NULL from EDA_FRAME.
This mixes the de-emphasized layers into the background color rather
than merely a black color. This also keeps some of the original layer
color.
Fixes: lp:1831316
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1831316
It was due to a angle normalization between -360 and 360 degrees.
So, in arcs, if the start angle and end angle diff is n*360 deg,
this normalization gives start angle = end angle.
The fix forces end angle = start angle+360deg in this case.

gal: pixel alignment for Cairo.
gal: pixel alignment for OpenGL
Cleanup of pixel alignment patches
gal/opengl: more pixel alignment patches:
- works on Retina displays now
- pixel alignment for circles
- correct 1-pixel strokes
- fixed unfinished 1-pixel line ends
GAL: Restore antialiasing options in Cairo
GAL: Fix arc drawing
Removes DrawArcSegment, which drew arcs whose edge was optionally
stroked (a feature that we did not use). Fixes Cairo arc drawing issue
where arcs were not visible in pcbnew.
gal: further cleanup
gal: removed unused shader parameter
Use TesselatePolygon() to draw polygons in Gerbview instead of GLU tesselation, much slower.
Add helper methods in GAL to know if the current GAL engine is Cairo, OpenGL or something else,
useful to optimize drawing code.
