Add direct handling of quadratic beziers to save compute time and number
of points. Update cubic interpolation to reduce number of points
generated for a given smoothness
Cache data on open and used cached data to avoid multiple re-calcs
Remove minimum line length and number of segments and replace with
standard max error level. Allows us to specify the tolerance of bezier
interpolation
Includes:
- Fix GAL to draw closed polygons in eeschema
- Add functionality to eeschema to draw arbitary polygons
- Update polygon item previews to have customisable edge colour
- Add new SCH_RULE_AREA class, derived from a poly SCH_SHAPE
- Add SCH_RULE_AREA to paint and plot methods
- Add new rule area color preference to themes
The schematic net names are fully unique but if we have multiple pads
that are mapped to a NC pin, they need to have unique net names so that
they do not get connected to each other in the ratsnest. This breaks
the schematic parity check as we have modified the netname for some
pads. To work around this, we first maintain the zero-th net without
suffix and then add an additional check in DRC to ensure that we allow
unconnected nets as long as the share a common prefix with the schematic
netname.
The connectivity routine would consider symbols, overwriting unused
subgraphs for pins that were not in the change list. This is resolved
by updating the full connectivity to only use pins in the graph since
symbols are not connected independently.
In the process of adding QA tests for this change, additional issues
with the schematic QA were discovered. Specifically, we were not
properly setting the root sheet UUID. This was partially masked by a
const_cast setting of the RefDes in sch_symbol when called the RefDes
getter. This exposed the fact that our QA ERC numbers did not match the
schematic editor stand alone ERC numbers. So the test value for one
check needed to be updated

Polygon intersections happen against the original outline, not against
the currently remaining polygon. This avoids pathalogical cases
Adds new simplification system to avoid duplicated points
Adds new edge-splitting algorithm to provide additional fall-back
Verifies that polygon cuts do not swap holes for outlines (negative
area)

IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

We have a break somewhere in the connectivity that doesn't fully process
connections but the current code seems to catch these by forcing a
top-down & bottom-up calculation
