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.
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).
The plan goes like this:
- eeschema still uses int in decidegrees
- all the other things internally use double in decidegrees (or radians
in temporaries)
- in pcbnew UI the unit is *still* int in decidegrees
The idea is to have better precision everywhere while keeping the user with int i
angles. Hopefully, if a fractional angle doesn't come in from the outside, everything
should *look* like an integer angle (unless I forgot something and it broke)
When the time comes, simply updating the UI for allowing doubles from the user should
be enough to get arbitrary angles in pcbnew.
- Removed spurious int casts (these are truncated anyway and will break
doubles)
- Applied the Distance, GetLineLength, EuclideanNorm, DEG2RAD, RAD2DEG
ArcTangente and NORMALIZE* functions where possible
- ArcTangente now returns double and handles the 0,0 case like atan2, so
it's no longer necessary to check for it before calling
- Small functions in trigo moved as inline
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

Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.

* Rename class WinEDA_DrawFrame to EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
* Rename class WinEDA_DrawPanel to EDA_DRAW_PANEL.
Rename EDA_Rect::Inside to EDA_Rect::Contains ( EDA_Rect::Inside( const EDA_Rect& aRect ) was very ambiguous )
Fix some Doxygen warnings and erroneous comments; Add comments.
* Implement code to allow wxDC to handle coordinate conversions between
device and drawing units.
* Add build settings to enable wxGCDC for wxGraphicsContext testing.
* Remove wxAUI conditional build cruft as it is now required to build
Kicad.

zoom center position.
* Add find GDI+ cmake module for building on WXMSW when wxGraphicsContext

to a Specctra DSN compatible default layer naming scheme:
Component becomes Front, Copper becomes Back.
* set_color.h: Cmp becomes Front, Cu becomes Back.
* D_PAD::DisplayInfo() changed to use actual copper layer names.
* more layer setup dialog work, moved all programmatic wxControl instantiation
into the wxFormbuilder environment, but this is fraught with danger:
wxFlexGridSizer used the tallest control to establish the row heights, so
be careful about changing control borders in the scroll panel. The vertical
size can explode since just a couple of pixels times the number of rows
is substantial. Currently I am setting a 5 pixel border only left, top, and right
but not bottom.
* Set copper layer count is back in place as a hack until I can get the enabled
layer bit map fully operational.
* Replace all known instances of (const wxChar*) casts to GetChars() for
wxWidgets 2.9 compatibility.
* Cleaned up get component dialog so last part gets saved on wild card
selections.
* Remove redundant schematic component drawing code.
* Added SCH_COMPONENT constructor to create new component from library
component object.
* Add message panel helpers to WinEDA_DrawFrame and update old message
panel access code.
* Using library viewer to add component to schematic now respects unit
and body style selection.
