- New GAL draw layers for GerbView
- Improved bounding boxes for Gerber shapes
- Switched to use of SHAPE_POLY_SET for polygons
- Add GAL methods to support selection and rendering
- Add GUI support of editing GAL options
- Rename get/setActiveLayer to Get/SetActiveLayer to match convention
non ascii7 filenames of zip files issues are fixed.
There are still issues with non ascii7 filenames inside the zip archives (especially when a zip archive was created on Windows)
Fix a very minor other issue (due to a minor bug in wx 3.1)
Displays the full graphic layer name of the selected item in message panel (instead of just the graphic layer number)
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
BOM dialog: remove a not very useful button, and merge its function with an other (not perfect, need more work)
Add message box to show info added in BOM python scripts (See scripts/bom-in-python/README-bom.txt about this info)
Pcbnew already uses this attribute when creating Gerber files.
Because Gerber files using this attribute identify the board layers stackup, Gerbview (if this attribute is defined) can sort gerber images stach up like the board.
(in layer manager, just right click to access to the sort menu)
* default file ext is now .gbr (the "official extension")
* some outdated commands remoded.
* mainly use mm and 4.5 format instead of inches and 3.4 format. this is mandatory,
because the 3.4 format (comming from old pcbned internal units) creates truncations in coordinates.
(with serious issues in polygons which can appear self-intersecting afer truncation)
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* Move auto save time global variables into PCB_EDIT_FRAME object.
* Move footprint library name list global variable int PCB_EDIT_FRAME
object.
* Improve library back up and temporary file error message strings and make
them translatable.
* PCBNew string unification.
* Translate French code names and comments.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* CVPcb now uses wxUpdateUIEvent instead of set toolbars.
* Removed duplicate event handlers in CVPcb that were factored into
EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Fix definition of GeneralControle() in CVPcb that prevented it from being
called.
* Remove rarely used and scary refresh code GeneralControle() method in all
main frame windows.
* Factor zoom menu and tool bar command IDs down to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Old control state handling code completely removed in all applications.
* Factor common control state handlers into EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Replaced EDA_ITEM test for newness with IsNew() method.
* Factor vertical right toolbar command handlers out of giant edit command
switch statement in EESchema and PCBNew.
* Fix rendering bug in GerbView caused by wxDC scaling change caused by
setting the wxDC clipping region.
* Eliminate the need to have optional background erasing as the change
above fixed that problem as well.
* Default cursor handling improvements.
* Remove all occurrences if #ifdef USE_WX_ZOOM and all associated code within
the #else/#endif block ( old zoom code ).
* Removed the build option for USE_WX_ZOOM from CMakeList.txt and config.h.in.
* Removed all scaling code in base screen object.
* Fixed buffered paint and buffered client DC on Windows. Buffering works
properly on Linux and Windows.
* Modified kicad_device_context.h to automatically uses buffering on platforms
where double buffering is supported natively.
* Remove all of the scaled versions of the drawing functions in gr_basic.cpp
and any support code.
* Removed all traces of ActiveScreen global variable from eeschema and
gerbview.
* Renamed Recadre_Trace to RedrawScreen in draw frame object.
* Renamed PostDirtyRect to RefreshDrawingRect in draw panel object.
* Lots of code cleaning an Doxygen comment improvements.
* Encapsulate file name member of base screen object.
* Encapsulate associated screen member of schematic sheet object.
* Create add screen method to schematic sheet object to simplify setting
the associated screen.
* Move the change file name code in the schematic sheet object to the edit
sheet method in the schematic editor frame object to eliminate message
dialogs.
* Improve reference counting in schematic screen object.
* Add helper type definitions for changing schematic object storage to C++
containers.
Added: in file dialog, multiple file selection.
Added: Draw mode selector (in left toolbar):
Raw mode:
a Gerber image is drawn on screen without buffering.
Artifacts happen if there are negative items drawn, if more than one Gerber file is shown.
Stacked mode:
each Geber image is drawn in a buffer and after drawn on screen
No artifact with negative items.
Each Gerber image covers previous images.
OR mode (transparency mode):
each Geber image is drawn in a buffer and after drawn on screen
No artifact with negative items.
Each Gerber image is "ORed" with previous images, like in Pcbnew.
Try to optimize Draw function in buffered modes.
(Useful for PC that have problems with "blit" graphic function)
Fix minor issues.
* Fix a minor problem with wxFileDialog to open a file that no longer
exists in PCBNew.
* Make GerbView open file behavior the same as PCBNew.
* Remove redundant PCB file wild card definition.
* Add open file refactor task to the todo list.
* Fix some minor code formatting issues.
