*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY. Now any major
frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
in the whole KIWAY. Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.
*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives. The function
KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.
*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.
*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
quickly. It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
relationships.
*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.
*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.
*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
modal wxFrame.
On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.

SVG plot, fix a missing reinitialization in plot lines, which could define a filled polyline, instead of a simple polyline
(these fixes solve Bug #1313084 )
(for instance, when a footprint from the currently edited board is loaded in the footprint editor, and when the board is cleared or reloaded)
In footprint editor, the net names are no more shown od modifiable (becuase the footprint editor does not know anything about net names.
This change should allow the changes planned in pcbnew.
*) void KIWAY::ExpressMail( FRAME_T aDestination, MAIL_T aCommand, const std::string& aPayload, wxWindow* aSource=NULL );
*) virtual void KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& aEvent );
*) enum MAIL_T expansion into the brave new world if cross KIWAY_PLAYER communications.
Let the KIWAY_PLAYING begin.....
through well conceived mail from one KIWAY_PLAYER to another.
Get thinking now. Add a new MAIL_T value, then send ExpressMail(),
and receive it in KiwayMailIn(), it's that easy.
Eeschema, Pcbnew, and Cvpcb all run under the same process now,
FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
*) Added KIWAY::PlayerCreate(), PlayerClose(), and PlayersClose().
*) Factored FRAME_T into <frame_type.h> from ID_DRAWFRAME_TYPE.
*) Found that the following command line is helpful for collecting all the *.kiface
files into the <build>/kicad/ directory so that kicad can find them.
$ cp `find . -name '*.kiface'` kicad/
Maybe somebody will want to rework how the CMake files are organized so all
the binaries can go into the same place. See python-a-mingw-us.
*) This might fix the problem on the Mac where child process windows were not
coming to the front. See ->Raise() in kicad/mainframe.cpp.
*) You can set USE_KIFACE to 0 in kicad/mainframe.cpp to chain load child exes
instead of using the KIFACE modules directly, i.e. revert.
if it is running under single_top.cpp or under a project manager.
*) Test Kiface().IsSingle() when adding menus, some operations are not permitted
when running under a project manager and the KIWAY_PLAYER is pegged to a
specific project.
*) Implemented KIWAY::KiFACE() so it loads *.kiface files. They still have to be
in the same directory as the main *.exe launcher, so this presents some difficulty
when the binaries are not yet installed but rather the *.kiface files are still
in their original build directories. For today, I simply copied _pcbnew.kiface
to build/kicad/.
*) Add a test case to kicad/mainframe.cpp just to get an early peek at loading
_pcbnew.kiface under the C++ project manager. Got that working for one
specific invocation just for proof of concept. Surprise, it works.
was used locally. Then comment it out in favor of a newer strategy for
filling in nicknames in cvpcb.
Add MODULE* FootprintLoadWithOptionalNickname( const FPID& aFootprintId )
throw( IO_ERROR, PARSE_ERROR );
from code found elsewhere.
- resetting relative coordinates
- switching units
- not official: changing transparency for layers (works only for main layers, does not work on vias/pads/etc.)
Refactored code that handled zooming events.
Added PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::Get/SetSketchMode().
PCBNEW_CONTROL reacts to hot keys changing display modes (sketch via/tracks, high contrast).
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
TOOL_EVENT message is supposed to contain string as parameter.
Added missing header for class_drawsegment.h (KiROUND).
Renamed SELECTION_TOOL::containsSelected() to SELECTION_TOOL::selectionContains().
* getpart.cpp: fix a potential bug on a translatable string with has requirements in spelling.
* fix bug #1066179
* kicad: fix erroneous labels in sub menus.
- VIEW_ITEM::ViewUpdate() does not update items immediately. Now it marks them to be updated and the real update occurs on the next rendering frame.
- VIEW::InvalidateItem() made private.
- VIEW_LAYER::enabled -> visible
- Some functions moved to header files.
Most of the GAL tools are activated by corresponding buttons on the right toolbar.
Removed menu entry for PNS router (as it is activated as the usual "Add track" tool).
Add missing calls to Show( false ) to some main frames (Kicad, eeschema, gerbview), to force config saving when closing these windows.
Code cleanup and minor coding style fixes in footprint_wizard_frame
Pcbnew:, libedit, Save lib as...: the new .pretty lib format is the default, instead of legacy .mod format. The legacy format is still selectable in the file selection dialog.
To use multiple working threads. This entailed adding KiCad typedefs:
*) Add typedefs for MUTEX and MUTLOCK which mask the actual choices for the project.
*) Add FOOTPRINT_LIST::DisplayErrors( wxWindow* ) which is a single strategy for
showing aggregated load errors. Although what's there is only scaffolding
and needs a volunteer who knows HTML pretty well.
*) Ensure all callers of ReadFootprintFiles() use the new DisplayErrors() function.
*) Push utf8.cpp and utf8.h into common library for open use.
Added REASON enum for Reset() function, so tools will know why a reset occured.
Fixed SELECTION_TOOL (it was bailing out, when a new board was loaded and some items were still selected).
Added removal of VIEW_ITEM groups after changing layers and removing items.
* Make the tool bar dockable.
* Enable the overflow control in the tool bar in case the it does not fit in
it's parent window.
* Fix some wxAuiPaneInfo usage issues.
* Remove unused wxAuiPaneInfo objects.
* Move perspective saving and loading into EDA_BASE_FRAME object in preparation
for extending this to all frame windows.
Moved scaling of font glyphs to the moment when they are created (eliminated a few multiplications unnecessary variables).
Changed some magic numbers into constants.
* Replace illegal file system characters when reading legacy libraries to
prevent FPID parsing errors and allow saving to PRETTY file format.
* Create validator to filter illegal file system characters from footprint
name text edit controls to prevent issues when saving to PRETTY file format.
* Add missing source file licenses and some minor coding policy fixes.
Now footprints, after loaded by reading a netlist are grouped by sheets by the footprints spread function, and the grouping is better.
Rename 2 files. Fix minor issues. Clean code
comment for GITHUB_PLUGIN which should flow into Doxygen output.
*) Rewrote:
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library(): now uses fp-lib-table and PROPERTIES.
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard(): now can archive to any writable library type.
PCB_BASE_FRAME::SelectLibrary(): is now generic for selecting a library, not just the active library.
Pcbnew: Code cleaning and bug fix in autoplace functions
Dialog exchange footprints has now a separate button to update the .cmp file, only on request.
FIX: unique renaming of eagle footprints by substituting illegal : and / with URL encoding technique.
ADD: window resize border to DisplayError() windows.
columns. DIALOG_SHIM would resize each separate usage to the same
size. DIALOG_SHIM now supports and alternate m_hash_key in lieu
of the class name, optionally.
* Add build type (debug/release) for wxWidgets library versions greater
than 2.8.
* Add build type (debug/release) for KiCad.
* Add missing build options.
Eagle plugin: filter and replace not allowed chars in FPID(-':' and '/') by _ or -, if they are used in Eagle footprint names (otherwise, boards converted and saved under kicad_pcb format are not readable by Pcbnew).
pass into an HTML rendering panel and otherwise look goofey.
*) Implement BOARD::Move() can call it from EAGLE_PLUGIN::Load().
*) When USE_FP_LIB_TABLE, tolerate blank nicknames in FPIDs coming from eeschema.
See the switch for this in pcbnew/netlist.cpp as ALLOW_PARTIAL_FPID.
*) Add an assert and a try catch block to figure out that View does not
like some eagle pcb board. bitset::set() is getting a -1 value and firing
an exception.
* Fix replace bug to handle case sensitivity properly.
* Fix replace bug where the item index was getting updated incorrectly.
* Fix replace infinite loop bug on replace all.
* Make find/replace view update code a separate function.
* Rearrange find/replace trace string to add tracing to EDA_ITEM::Replace().
* Add IsComplexHierarchy method to SCH_SHEET_LIST for future find/replace
improvements.
Fix issues created by this patch.
Note, this fix slightly changes the vertical position of these texts.
This is not really a problem in eeschema, but in pcbnew this is perhaps more annoying, if the verical multiline text is critical.
Fix a very minor issue for vertical justification of single line texts in dxf import.
Page layout editor: Add bitmap items to the page layout existing items.
Now a bitmap image can be added to a page layout description. Currently the bitmap is expected having a 300 ppi definition.
Note: not all plotters can plot a bitmap, and in this case the bounding box is plotted instead of the bitmap
* Create a generic yes/no/cancel dialog from DIALOG_EXIT.
* Make DIALOG_EXIT return wxID_YES instead of wxID_OK so it is consistent
with the standard message dialogs.
* Add missing license to confirm.h and confirm.cpp.
* Change Eeschema message dialog when loading a schematic if the current
schematic is modified to be more consistent with the exit dialog.
* Change Pcbnew message dialog when loading a board if the current board
is modified to be more consistent with the exit dialog.
* Remove some Eeschema block debug logging code left over from my last
commit.
*) Set environment variable KISYSMOD before loading FP_LIB_TABLE so that
FP_LIB_TABLE::ROW::SetFullURI() can do substitution up front.
*) De-emphasize the lib path in some of the footprint frames but keep it
so the footprint editor can export a current library to another.
You can even export a GITHUB library to a pretty library for local
installation.
*) Start the PLUGIN options editor.
*) Enhance cursor positioning in DIALOG_FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add save table and set project path environment variable code to
FP_LIB_TABLE object.
* Add code to Pcbnew and CvPcb to set project path environment variable.
* Create empty footprint table in Pcbnew when new board created.
* Save current project specific footprint library table to path on file save
as or empty project path.
* Fix a bug in Pcbnew in file save function that would silently overwrite
an existing board file.
* Disable selecting the current library in the module editor when there are
no libraries defined.
* Catch exceptions and report errors when writing footprint library tables.
* Fix Boost build CMakeFile to fix bug when bootstrapping a Boost build in
MSys.
Remove KICAD_GOST option because it is now useless: the 2 GOST options are now selectable at run time and are:
* specific page layouts (now user definable, and the GOST page layouts are available in template folder)
* notation for multiple parts per package (made in eeschema, preference menu)
We can now remove a few calls to FP_LIB_TABLE::ExpandSubstitutions( const wxString& aString )
since its being done in above function.
DIALOG_FP_LIB_TABLE now handles table to copy cut copy paste from global to
project and reverse. Fixed a problem with cursor position management when
switching between tables.
Paste popup menu in this dialog now allows pasting a (fp_lib_table)
s-expression element holding (lib) elements. This provides an
opportunity for GITHUB library publishers to put the table description
into their README.md file as a (fp_lib_table) element where it can
be quickly copied to clipboard and pasted into the fp lib table dialog.
This is a paste operation, and overwrites from the initial cursor position.
TOOL_ACTIONs can be run from CONTEXT_MENU after adding them.
Move tool actions are available to be run from CONTEXT_MENU displayed after right mouse button click on selected items.
Added some asserts to check the code.
Write parser and formatter for options. Write dialog verification used before saving
FP_LIB_TABLEs, triggered from OK button in table editor.
Switch PROPERTY's value column to std::string from wxString.
Add event handler to fp lib table dialog for upcoming options dialog.
* When loading footprint do not retest every footprint in cache. Only test
the footprint being loaded. Fixes long load times on libraries with a lot
of parts.
* Fix footprint name bug where file extension was added to the end of the
footprint name.
* Fix bug in path equivalence test due to Posix path separators in footprint
library table. Convert paths to native separator before comparison.
* Fix a bug in FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME::OnActivate() which cause the footprint
list to always get reloaded when using footprint library tables.
* Remove some unnecessary debugging messages.
* Add a few Doxygen comments to FP_CACHE in kicad_plugin.cpp.
* Make footprint viewer work properly with library table.
* Fix bug in Eagle plugin when enumerating footprints.
* Add missing P-CAD plugin from footprint library table editing dialog.
* Fix bug in FOOTPRINT_INFO::LoadLibraries when error occur loading footprints
from libraries.
1. block created from-left-to-right selects only 100%inside selection objects (as it now does)
2.block created from-right-to-left selects all overlapping objects inside selection
From the patch sent by mathieulj (mathieulj), and some fixes and code cleaning.
* Add code to CvPcb to handle assigning component footprints from the
footprint library table instead of the search path method.
* Add code to CvPcb to allow editing of the footprint library table.
* CvPcb footprint and component panes display fully qualified FPID names.
* Make CvPcb library pane display footprint library table nicknames instead
of library file names.
* Add code to FP_LIB_TABLE object to test the paths in the table against the
list of libraries loaded from the project file.
* Add code to FP_LIB_TABLE to convert assigned footprints in a NETLIST from
legacy format to footprint library table format.
* Split out COMPONENT_NET, COMPONENT, and NETLIST objects from netlist_reader
files and create new pcb_netlist files.
* Fix minor wxListView scroll bar sizing issues.
* Add new token and code to save and load FPID nickname in board file.
* Add new token and code to save and load FPID nickname in s-expression net
list file.
* Add WX_STRING_REPORT object to dump strings to a wxString object.
Redraws can be requested way too often than it is required. This commit adds redraw timeout:
- if the view became dirty and there has been no redraw for longer than certain time, it is redrawed immediately
- otherwise, we wait for the next frame
This in general improves smoothness of rendering.
