This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled

from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
Also, remove a wxPanel border as it makes device-independent sizing

The GTK+ file dialog is case sensitive however it does support regular
expressions. Most of the file dialog wildcards are lower case so only
files with the lower case extensions will show up in the file dialog.
This code adds a method to convert file extensions of any case to the
appropriate (sch -> [sS][cC][hH]) regular expression on GTK+ builds so
all file extension case combinations will show up in the file dialog.
A note to developers: make sure to add a file extension when setting
when setting the default file argument. If you do don't set an
extension, the GTK+ file dialog will happily append the regular
expression as the file extension which is surely not what you want.
There are still a few known places (mostly gerbview) where there are
some complex wildcard code that has not been converted.

Add method GetEnvVariables() to return any environment variables found in

Removes the need of using the legacy code in polygon/PolyLine.{h,cpp},
refactoring all CPolyLine instances with SHAPE_POLY_SET instances.
The remaining legacy methods have been ported to SHAPE_POLY_SET;
mainly: Chamfer, Fillet, {,Un}Hatch.
The iteration over the polygon vertices have been simplified using the
family of ITERATOR classes.
The motivation here is to concentrate display options in the GAL display
settings, ready for removal of legacy canvases. Instead of having the
property as a member of the DRAW_FRAME, with the GAL canvas retreiving
it from there, it is now in the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS struct, and both GAL
and legacy get it from there.
The options for setting cursor shape are then moved out of the general
options dialog, and into the GAL display options widget, where they can
be used in all GAL-aware programs.
GAL cursor shape works on GAL, but not legacy, so the option is now
available on OSX (but only affects GAL, and is labelled as such).
This gives a bit more space to the GAL options in the left panel
Also tidy up some code style and unnecessary default arguments in the
GAL display planel widget.
For a start, this contains the GAL display settings (AA settings and
grid styling).
In future, other modedit-specific settings could go here too.
Fixes: lp:1672150

The primary motivation here is to allow other GAL canvas users (eg
Modedit, and soon Gerbview) to be able to easily modify GAL canvas
options.
For now, this doesn't change the display properties dialog in
appearance, but if more GAL options are added, it might need a bit of
tweak and maybe tabs or similar, like Eeschema preferences.
BOARD::GetBoundingBox() now directly calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
and there is a new method BOARD::GetBoardEdgesBoundingBox() used for
call sites that needed to use ComputeBoundingBox( true ) in the past.
This allows COMMON_TOOLS to implement ZoomFitScreen without knowledge
of the BOARD class.
SELECTION now holds EDA_ITEMs not BOARD_ITEMs so various places had to
change to casting the selected items to BOARD_ITEMs.
Fixed compilation warnings on clang (Tom)
This means the dialog can be accessed from both GAL and legacy modes.
This also removes the use of static bools for passing the selection
states and instead used a struct of values passed in by the calling
code.
eeschema now supports arbitrary colors for all object types, and
pcbnew does in GAL canvas. When switching from GAL to legacy canvas,
pcbnew will convert colors to the nearest legacy color.
Some grid/zoom tools are left in PCBNEW_CONTROL because they currently
depend on Pcbnew-specific class members. Once refactoring is done to
make it possible to use all zoom and grid controls outside of pcbnew,
these last tools can be moved to common to match their ACTIONs.
New virtual class ACTIONS is added as a member to EDA_DRAW_FRAME so
that the TOOL_DISPATCHER can have access to the appropriate derived
version of TranslateLegacyId()
bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it
being included by base_struct.h
Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and
many of those already included bitmaps.h themselves, or via
menu_helpers.h. However, touching bitmaps.h would result in over 400
rebuilt files for pcbnew alone.
This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.
Many classes in pcbnew and eeschema needed some functions moved
to the implementaitons from the headers too.
This allows the user to set a thicker grid line without causing the
grid lines to become over dense, or just make the grid denser according

The term "density" is modified to "minimum grid spacing", which is
the pixel spacing between adjacent grid lines.

as part of GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS observer functionality. To this end, the
setter in GAL interface is removed, as an external user should be
setting this parameter via the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS interface.

This class, INCREMENTAL_TEXT_CTRL, is used to provide a frameworks for
classes that want to control a text control that can be incremented
according to some scheme.
Also provided is a wxWidgets implementation with spin buttons for
control, as well as mousewheel support.
The mappings from enums to control settings can be done in static
functions, which makes the set/retreive functions more concise, and also
puts the mapping functions in a clearly delineated place.
This puts the graphical/display options with the other similar options
in that dialog, rather than with the dimension options found in the Set
Grid dialog, which is in the Dimensions menu.
Also place the option itself in the GAL Display Options structure, so it
can be updated using the observer mechanism there.
The setter for the style in the GAL interface is removed, as the public
interface for setting this option is now to modify the
GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS structure and notify the GAL when done.
The GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME is a private member and
is used in only a couple of places in the class. The real use of this
member is by a by-ref interface, GetGalDisplayOptions.
Because te GAL options are used by a very select few users of
EDA_DRAW_FRAME, it makes little sense to force all the (many) files
including draw_frame.h to also include gal_display_options.h, when the
vast majority have no need for it.
This massively speeds up compilation of the project when
gal_display_options.h is changed.
More isolation could be acheived by separating the GAL config types (eg
OpenGL antialias modes and grid style) from the options header, as,
although the GAL class uses them, not many includers of the GAL header
need the options struct as well.

DIALOG_EXCHANGE_MODULE class now has its own header file in the

It should help if (or when) the internal angle unit used in kicad will be changed from 0.1 degree (a relic of code written for PCs without fpu) to degree ( a more natural unit).
* Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in
the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB,
KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an
absolute path is shortened using one of these path aliases, let's say
'KISYS3DMOD' then the name appears in the pcb file as "${KISYS3DMOD}/blah.wrl".
If a user defines and actual environment variable with the same name, then
that user defined variable will have precedence over the internally defined
variable.
* Paths relative to the current project directory are no longer represented
as "some/path/to/file.wrl". For compatibility with previous KiCad versions
it shall always be stored as ${KIPRJMOD}/some/path/to/file.wrl.
* Various restrictions on alias path values have been removed since the
imposed restrictions could result in corrupted user data as aliases are
silently dropped.
* Overall the patch should improve back-compatibility by providing a ${ENV_VAR}
mechanism for supporting different model root directories and ensuring that
paths relative to KIPRJMOD are expressed in a way that is compatible with
earlier KiCad versions. This allows users more flexibility and the ability
to work in a way that ensures 3D model files can be correctly resolved in
earlier versions of KiCad. Users who do not care about back-compatibility
may prefer to use the newer alias system.
Fixa also a corner case which crashes Pcbnew: if the dialog is opened, and the board was changed (reloaded, cleared), pcbnew crashed because many pointers stored in dialog become invalid. Now the dialog is just closed.
