qu1ck 75819206a0 Add support for dark theme in plugin icons
Action plugin authors can specify alternative icon path for dark theme.
If it's not specified then standard icon will be used for both light and
dark themes. If neither icon is specified then the default puzzle piece
icon is used.

Jon Evans ec334f172b Fix some issues with reloading of action plugins
First issue: the C++ action plugins list should be cleared so that any
plugins that fail to reload do not hang around on the toolbar.
This is fixed on the C++ side.

Second issue: inner dependencies of plugins that are modules were not
reloaded before, which broke reloading for many plugin examples out there.
This is fixed on the Python side by keeping track of dependencies and
clearing them out before reloading a module (unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be a way to do this in the standard library)

jean-pierre charras 986b90424b Fix an issue in LoadPlugins(bundlepath=None) python method (Windows specific).
For some obscure (for me) reason, the path separators in bundlepath are seen as escape seq, and the path can be incorrectly handled
(when \n or \r are found in this string).
it happens only for this path, not for other paths in LoadPlugins.
For bundlepath parameter, unix separator is now used.

Dick Hollenbeck 7311f07eaf SWIG Improvements
*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
   for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
   common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
   libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
   which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
   exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
   in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
   which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
   change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
   files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
   phase III.

Dick Hollenbeck e24990146d Pcbnew: major swig fix.
* Switched hashtables.h over to std::undordered_map from boost version.

* Added new macros DECL_VEC_FOR_SWIG() and DECL_MAP_FOR_SWIG() in macros.h.
  These along with future DECL_HASH_FOR_SWIG() unify the declaration to swig
  and C++ so that the resultant type name is common in both languages, and
  the types AGREE.

* Fixed swigging of NETINFO_ITEM and NETINFO_LIST via magic.

* Newly exposed (python wrapped) are: D_PADS, TRACKS (was TRACK_PTRS),
  NETNAME_MAP, NETCODE_MAP, wxString (without constructor purposely, read
  comment in wx.i), MARKERS, ZONE_CONTAINERS, NETCLASSPTR, KICAD_T types.

* std::vector<SOMETHING*> tends to end up named SOMETHINGS in C++ and python.
  Having the name consistent between like types is helpful, and between
  languages.  std::map<> ends up as SOMETHING_MAP.

* NETINFO_LIST::m_netNames and NETINFO_LIST::m_netCodes are now std::map
  instead of hashtables, because swig does not yet support std::unordered_map.

* You can now get to any netclass or net info.   NETNAMES_MAP and NETCODES_MAP
  are traversable basically the same as a python dictionary using a python
  string (not wsString) as the key!  The wxString typemap converts python
  string to wxString before the lookup happens.  Iteration also works.

Dick Hollenbeck 2a2a530c62 improvements to python's GIL acquisition and release, but not done yet, since I think the GIL needs to be acquired even when not involving wxPython. 2013-03-11 03:09:48 -05:00
Wayne Stambaugh 4d465ec8a0 Configuration and compile documentation improvements.
* Improve the stable and testing build version option logic.
* Use CMake FindPythonInterp to configure the Python interpreter.
* Use Python interpreter to determine the system Python module install
  path if not already defined on the command line.
* Add header symbol checks for asinh(), acosh(), and atanh().
* Add test source to check for isinf() which can be defined as a C++template.
* Replace conditional compile on windows systems for aXXXh() with CMake
  configuration tests.
* A few minor MSVC compile fixes.
* Fix incorrect python environment string in fixswigimports.py
* Create a separate document for KiCad CMake build options.
* Create a separate how to compile KiCad on Windows document.

Dick Hollenbeck 9bbff22d96 1) Switch to boost hashtable support from wx macros which did not handle std::string.
This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".

2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.

3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.

4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
   layer sets, for pads so far.

5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
   for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
   Layer sets are only in the mask table.

6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
   caller should find it as convenient as possible to use.  LOCALE_IO should handle
   nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
   functions.

7) Drop support for "export module to new library".  Creating new libraries will have to
   be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
   creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO.  So
   this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.

8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
