added the example gen_gerber_and_drill_files_board.py in demos, which shows how to do that.
Fix a Printf format issue (shown in Debug mode) in Libedit (%d used for a size_t, changed in %zu)
Important note: from a python script one cannot plot the palge layout, because the page layout template file is not stored in the board file, but it is part of the project.
Because when using a python script, the project is not loaded, the page layout template is not known.
Trying to plot it crashes the script.
Do not pay attention to add/remove files - it seems there may be a bug in git-bzr-ng plugin. I have checked them, they stayed exactly the same as before.
Netlist dialog: add option to report only most important messages. Useful for large boards.
class REPORTER: add features to allow a basic message filtering (flags to report all/warning/error messages)
Fix Bug #1214599 ( tools are deselected on Move command )
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
* Eeschema can generate this netlist format.
* Pcbnew can use (automatic identification) the current format or the new format.
* Cvpcb does not use yet the new format.
* A track is seen connected to a pad if the track end is inside the pad shape.
* Pads inside pads are now seen connected, if the center of the pad is *inside* the other pad.
* this is made to be sure a large copper area is shared by the 2 pads, and to keep algorithm fast.
(WxWidgets 2.9.1 seems call setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "" ) when wxConfig read doubles stored in config, but forget to back to current locale.)
Note: perhaps there are some dialogs that need this call to SetLocaleTo_Default() ).
* Minor code cleanup in pcbnew/netlist.cpp
Eeschema: cleaning code. Start work to enhance annotation algorithm.
Already added an option to annotate using sheet number (sheet 1 uses numbers 100 to 199, sheet 2 uses 200 to 299..).
Works fine if deleting existing annotation, but needs work to be used when the existing annotation is kept .
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.
