New classes:
- VIEW - represents view that is seen by user, takes care of layer ordering & visibility and how it is displayed (which location, how much zoomed, etc.)
- VIEW_ITEM - Base class for every item that can be displayed on VIEW (the biggest change is that now it may be necessary to override ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers method for derived classes).
- EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL - Inherits after EDA_DRAW_PANEL, displays VIEW output, right now it is not editable (in opposite to usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL).
- GAL/OPENGL_GAL/CAIRO_GAL - Base Graphics Abstraction Layer class + two different flavours (Cairo is not fully supported yet), that offers methods to draw primitives using different libraries.
- WX_VIEW_CONTROLS - Controller for VIEW, handles user events, allows zooming, panning, etc.
- PAINTER/PCB_PAINTER - Classes that uses GAL interface to draw items (as you may have already guessed - PCB_PAINTER is a class for drawing PCB specific object, PAINTER is an abstract class). Its methods are invoked by VIEW, when an item has to be drawn. To display a new type of item - you need to implement draw(ITEM_TYPE*) method that draws it using GAL methods.
- STROKE_FONT - Implements stroke font drawing using GAL methods.
Most important changes to Kicad original code:
* EDA_ITEM now inherits from VIEW_ITEM, which is a base class for all drawable objects.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME contains both usual EDA_DRAW_PANEL and new EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL, that can be switched anytime.
* There are some new layers for displaying multilayer pads, vias & pads holes (these are not shown yet on the right sidebar in pcbnew)
* Display order of layers is different than in previous versions (if you are curious - you may check m_galLayerOrder@pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp). Preserving usual order would result in not very natural display, such as showing silkscreen texts on the bottom.
* Introduced new hotkey (Alt+F12) and new menu option (View->Switch canvas) for switching canvas during runtime.
* Some of classes (mostly derived from BOARD_ITEM) now includes ViewBBox & ViewGetLayers methods.
* Removed tools/class_painter.h, as now it is extended and included in source code.
Build changes:
* GAL-based rendering option is turned on by a new compilation CMake option KICAD_GAL.
* When compiling with CMake option KICAD_GAL=ON, GLEW and Cairo libraries are required.
* GAL-related code is compiled into a static library (common/libgal).
* Build with KICAD_GAL=OFF should not need any new libraries and should come out as a standard version of Kicad
Currently most of items in pcbnew can be displayed using OpenGL (to be done are DIMENSIONS and MARKERS).
More details about GAL can be found in: http://www.ohwr.org/attachments/1884/view-spec.pdf
All: For new zoom centering option: use Shift+Ctrl key instead of Alt key to select the new zoom centering, because Alt key has a special function under Windows.
2 very minor other changes.
as a starting point
* Make double Distance() take double arguments and remove internal range checking.
* Start on EDA_DRAW_FRAME::AdjustScrollBars() and use "double" for most all calculations
in anticipation of setting INT_MAX INT_MIN limits eventually.
// This provides better project control over rounding to int from double
// than wxRound() did. This scheme provides better logging in Debug builds
// and it provides for compile time calculation of constants.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <limits.h>
//-----<KiROUND KIT>------------------------------------------------------------
/**
* KiROUND
* rounds a floating point number to an int using
* "round halfway cases away from zero".
* In Debug build an assert fires if will not fit into an int.
*/
#if defined( DEBUG )

}
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.

* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.

EDA_ITEM.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.

it is used.

wish to use the auto save file or the last saved board file.

screen object.
* Remove redundant parent member variable from draw panel object by
overriding wxWindow::GetParent() method.
* Fix rendering bug in GerbView caused by wxDC scaling change caused by
setting the wxDC clipping region.
