pcbnew.py + doxygen-xml files, and build .i files with docstrings,
those .i files are included back again to build a pcbnew.py with
extended documentation from C++, finally we take the final pcbnew.py
to build the doxygen-python documentation
* Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files.
* Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying
changes to board.
* Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the
NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects.
* Change placement of new components below the center of the current board
or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty.
* Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control
without making changes.
* Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control
to a file.
* Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew.
* Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library.
* Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb.
* Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object.
* Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object.
* Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for
use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea.
* Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
support. This should cover most dependency cases.
Make scripting version compilable on platforms where the python executable is not python2 (define it by -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=<python executable filename>)
Mainly to plot drill maps, but can be used to plot boards, for documentation.
The print svg still exists, but the plot SVG has more options (mirroring, holes in pads),
however print svg allows color print, and full board printing, and plot does not.
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
