This selection improvement feature is hidden behind the advanced
configuration key "PcbSelectionVisibilityRatio". It is turned off (1.0)
by default. Value values are from 0.0 to less that 1.0. From testing,
using a value between 0.1 and 0.3 produces the best results.
This fix uses normal alpha blending described in the link below. The
current design only uses the alpha of the object's color. It could be
improved by doing a full color alpha blending but using the color alpha
alone seems to result in satisfactory results.

The hack assumed that the parent group would be the first
deleted item of type group in the undo list. While this
will be true when undoing a user ungroup command, it will
not be when undoing an ungroup side-effect, such as when a
member of a group is deleted during UpdateFromPCB.

The router preview item can be specific to the part that is being
tuned, rather than the whole net. It's also less visually noisy as
it doesn't dim/undim the rest of the board.
Using kigfx preview items for the status keeps us from having a bunch
of focus issues with the status popup window.
IPC2581 is a modern production file exchange system. It provides
single-file data output for an entire board including BOM and netlist
information.

- move place dimensions to a sub menu (they are not frequently used, and it
reduce the size of the place menu
- add reset drill origin, similar to reset grid origin.
- fix regression: allow grouping or not imported items
- store more settings in Pcbnew settings: all options are now stored.
- default tolerance to connect items is now 0.01 mm. 1 mm is a too big value,
and can create serious artifacts in imported outlines.
(It's still leaking into BOARD_COMMIT and some other places, but at
least it no longer leaks into all the edit tools.)
Also fixes some bugs when moving/copying/pasting multiple selections
containing length-tuning patterns.
When calculating the viewport extents, we only need the maximum size
that can be represented. Anything larger should be truncated. We do
this in many other places (wx_view_controls, ruler_item,
ds_proxy_view_item, etc) and this brings pcb_selection_tool into
alignment with this, avoiding an unneeded warning message

Removed no-longer-required differentiation between importing
footprint vs board objects.
Renamed files to match the dialog.
Made Position At and Set Layer optional checkboxes.
Removed Group Items checkbox. (In the unlikely event that you don't
want a group, do an UnGroup after importing.)
Flattened out labelled-sizers in the dialog.
Removed importers blacklist, which hasn't been active for at least 4
years.
Fixed undo/redo bug that caused items to be no-longer-grouped after
a redo.
While ERROR_INSIDE was good for plotting, 3D generation, etc., it's
not good for generating router hulls.
Also reverts part of the change to always use polygons for PNS::SOLIDs. A single shape in a SHAPE_COMPOUND will be faster (and
more accurate).

(It is a container to build bridges on solder mask layers by DRC, not real zone)
Disable also this special zone selection by adding it in
PCB_SELECTION_TOOL::itemPassesFilter
This allows common operations like merging a pin courtyard
into the body courtyard in the fooprint editor, taking a
"bite" out of a polygon and so on,
For now, this only supports polygons made of straight lines.
There are some wierd cases when the operations result in nothing
(e.g. wen a big polygon is substracted from a smaller one that
it contains entirely). I have tried to do something senisble in
these cases, but there may be more optimal ways to handle it.

Create 2 wrappers for it: DIALOG_FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER and
FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER_FRAME. The first now gets called from wxGrid
editors, text button editors (such as Change Footprints), etc.
Retire FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME_MODAL. FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME still
exists, but has very few uses at this point.
Previously the snap points computed for oval pads didn't get all the
points correct. This breaks out the "find snap points for ovals"
into a function, reworks the logic, adds some tests.
Also adds "extremum points" when the oval isn't exactly H/V.
Fixes: https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/15594
- Move PLUGIN_FILE_DESC to common.
- SCH_PLUGIN: rename Load -> LoadSchematicFile, Save -> SaveSchematicFile.
- Use PLUGIN_FILE_DESC and CanRead* in schematic plugins.
- Return none/unknown types from Find/GuessPluginType functions.
- Iterate over file types for file wildcards.
- Clean-up header checking in IO plugins.
- Use PCB plugin list in IO_MGR::GuessPluginTypeFromLibPath.
Graphic shapes (excluding text) can now have nets when on
copper layers. Shapes behave like tracks in that they will
pick up nets from connected pads, and follow track opacity
settings.
If we have a footprint currently selected and we click on its empty
space again, we deselect the footprint. However, if we click on the
empty space of a different footprint, we will select that footprint
instead.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/15284
- Footprints cannot be selected if they do not have items visible on the
screen
- Clicking on empty space in a footprint will select it if the space is
contained in the visible bounding box
- Clicking on a selected footprint a second time will deselect it
- Clicking on a footprint that has pads selected will still select the
footprint
This avoids having the full footprint bounding box considered when
selecting footprints (useful b/c footprint bbox is often much larger and
unexpected). Also allows non-standard footprints (e.g. silk or fab only
footprints) to be logically selected if the layers on which they have
elements are visible.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/15284
When working in high contrast mode, we want to be able to select a
footprint with only elements in, e.g. silk and fab layers.
The previous design for footprint IsOnLayer had one behavior of every
other element and a different behavior for footprints. This leads to
multiple bugs as new features use the overloaded IsOnLayer expecting it
to report if the element exists on a layer or not.
For footprints, we need a different routine to determine whether or not
to select the footprint when clicking on it. IsOnLayer will report if
the footprint has any elements on a specific layer but we don't want to
use the bbox for a hittest because large footprints with through hole
pads will exist on every layer and have an enormous bbox. Instead, we
filter footprints based on the hittest of each element. This behaves in
a more logical fashion, allowing you to select a footprint by clicking
on a visible element of that footprint.

This needs the ITEM_MODIFICATION_ROUTINE to learn to delete items.
Condense the item change handlers into a single injected object
(ITEM_MODIFICATION_ROUTINE::CHANGE_HANDLER) and provide the basic
implementation that just takes some callables.
This simplifies the construction of the routines and also would make
a CHANGE_HANDLER object possible that can be reused between different
tools.
In the EDIT_TOOL::ModifyLines method, there was some
remaining special-casing for FP childen commits.
One bit was put back by mistake (in
0b32ae3f4b) because I thought I'd
left it out of the refactor. In fact it was removed slightly later in
1218f61d0a.
THe other bit is omitting Modify commits in the FP-editor (what the
reinstatement of the above code was trying to cause). This shouldn't
be needed any more.
However, something is still incomplete here as the tools still don't
work correctly in the footprint editor. However, I don't think it's
substantially _more_ broken with the special casing removed and at
least it's less confusing.

Also includes persisting settings for next dialog invocation
and use the TransferDataFromWindow function rather than per-field
accessor methods.

The draft fill and single zone unfill would only work if something was
selected first, this allows them to call the selection operation to
request what is under the cursor. Also properly gate the operation to
not cause crashes/issues when the selection contains non-zone items.
Using the new ITEM_MODIFICATION_ROUTINE system, drop in two new
tools: chamfer and line extend. These are two geometric operations
that are relatively common when editing footprints in particular.
Chamfer delegates the geometric calculations to a dedicated unit
in kimath/geometry.
