Now, if not yet opened, the schematic editor frame is created, and shown iconized.
(although iconize it is perhaps not the best option)
It fixes a few (minor) issues (when the schematic editor frame is created, but not shown):
- On OSX the schematic frame is shown as a "ghost" frame.
- If later, the schematic editor is opened from Kicad, a message saying the schematic is already opened is shown.
This is technically true, but unexpected by user.
- If symbols need an annotation, the annotation dialog is opened, can can modify the schematics.
So it could be better to really open the schematic editor frame.
The calculation was made too early, before removing insulated islands.
Note: filling zones with segments is an old option, not very useful:
using only polygons has never created issues in gerber files.
The 3D viewer panel had a default size that was causing sizing issue
with the footprint properties dialog. Set the default size to -1;-1
and set the proportion setting to 1 when adding the panel to the sizer
which allows the panel to file in the correct size.
Fixed some minor control spacing issues in the footprint properties
dialog properties tab.
Please note that is only a partial fix for this issue. There is still
too much vertical space which is partially due to the use of wxSpinCtrl
instead of wxDoubleSpinCtrl.

Major cleanup of many icons (started as a simple effort to tweak libedit and modedit icons)
Ref: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg32860.html
* Each application icon has been updated
* Consolidated icon "modifiers" across many icons
* Replaced confusing arrows with "load" and "save" icons
* Slight code updates to reference correct icons
* Consolidate multiple representations of single icon type(s)
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
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.
In high-contrast mode, items that don't exist on the current layer are
not selectable, but this is problematic since there are library
components that only exist in the silkscreen layer (logos, etc).
By adding one of the silkscreen layers to the ViewGetLayers() output,
these components are now editable when viewing the silkscreen layer in
high-contrast mode. Silkscreens attached to footprints that have pads
or drawings on non-silkscreen layers are still not selectable.

Also, remove a wxPanel border as it makes device-independent sizing
nearly impossible. For some reason wxPanel::GetClientSize() is returning
garbage here and breaks centering text without fudge factors. I think it
still looks good without the border, maybe better.
- Add helper methods for DPI-independent sizes
- Make splitter sashes visible on macOS
- Remove SetSizeInChars() - wx has a built-in way that I missed
- DIALOG_CHOOSE_COMPONENT: DPI-indep splitter sizes
- DIALOG_RESCUE_EACH: DPI-indep default size and sensible HTML window
size
- COMPONENT_TREE: DPI-indep sizing
- DIALOG_FP_LIB_TABLE, DIALOG_SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE
Change term "Flip Horizontal" to "Mirror About Horizontal(X) Axis" in
the schematic editor symbol context menu to improve clarity.
Change term "Flip Vertical" to "Mirror About Vertical(Y) Axis" in the
schematic editor symbol context menu to improve clarity.
Change to the same mirror terminology in the block context menu.
Change "Exchange Footprint" to "Change Footprint" in the board footprint
context menu for improved clarity.

The previous algorithm stopped whenever it entered a pad, which
sometimes leaves small track segments inside the pad. This one
keeps going as long as each segment gets us closer to the center
of the pad.

This patch adds functionality to the Pcbnew draw tool to show the dx and
dy of the current segment being drawn if the relative origin (pressing
spacebar) is not already set (i.e. if those coordinates are ( 0, 0 ) ).
You can set the relative origin while using the draw tool by pressing
spacebar. The relative origin is reset on exit of the tool.

Passing an empty path to the 3D model select dialog results in the file
select control displaying the root path which requires the user to drill
down to get to the 3D models. Use the KISYS3DMOD path as the default
and fall back to the project path as required for the initial file
select control path.
Clean up some coding policy violations.

Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
Replace all instances of "component" and "part" with "symbol" when
referring to schematic and library symbols.
Replace all instances of "component" with "footprint" when referring to
board and library footprints.
Minor dialog layout fixes to some of the dialogs impacted by the UI
string changes.
Refresh is used in the python domain to refresh the display with the current
design. If something has changed, board connectivity likely needs rebuilding.
If using GAL canvas, update its display db.
Improved the selection heuristics to keep footprints in the
disambiguation menu when they contain pads with high pad-to-footprint
area ratio.
In other words: make it possible to select a footprint when
most of its area is taken by a pad. Previously pads were given the
priority, so it was very tricky to select the parent footprint.

To avoid situations when a large footprint covering most of the board
area (e.g. shield connector) is always selected, even when user clicks
in a seemingly empty spot, a simple filter has been added. In case
the footprint area covers more than 90% of the view area, the large
footprint is not selected. This way large footprints do not disturb
editing when the zoom is high enough.

A few methods differed by the number or type of arguments in derived
classes. They were changed to match the base class method signature and
marked as 'override'.
Module placer did not mark the newly placed modules as selected,
but all edit functions (rotate/place/etc.) rely on getting a selected
item. When a rotation/flip command was issued, the newly placed module
was dropped and the one underneath the cursor has been rotated.
To fix this the newly placed modules are marked as selected.
It also simplifies the placer code a bit.

Revert() method was still not aware of CHT_DONE flag, therefore
the switch statement was always invalid. To fix it, the commit
type is split to type and flags as is done in Push() method.
Zones: it turned out that for every zone point, the set of hatch lines
has been drawn, resulting in numerous redundant lines. Now the set is
drawn only once per zone.
Custom shape pads: as GAL supports SHAPE_POLY_SETs, there is no need to
create a temporary vector to copy there a list of points to be drawn.
Changed the drawing calls to use SHAPE_POLY_SETs directly.
Thanks to Andreas Buhr patch, code for drawing filled polygons and their
outlines has been unified. Previously it was done by changing the
drawing method (GAL::DrawPolygon() vs GAL::DrawPolyline()), now it is
done by modifying attributes (stroke/fill).
If the object changes between a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_UPDATE
event and a TA_CONTEXT_MENU_CHOICE event (usually as
a result of a cancel), the old code would leave the
last item hidden.

This target seems to only create empty makefiles, tested on linux. And I
can not find any references to it in any of the current CMakeLists. Lets
remove it.
- Reverts behaviour of 3e71ed2421
- 3D model offset now explicitly written in mm, using "offset" tag
- Any read "at" tag is converted from inches to mm
- This will not break any 3D model offset when reading files
- It will however render files incompatible with old versions
LAYER_NON_PLATED to LAYER_NON_PLATEDHOLES
LAYER_PADS_HOLES to LAYER_PADS_PLATEDHOLES
LAYER_PADS to LAYER_PADS_TH
and add comments and fix a render issue in gal mode for non plated holes.
Opening Properties dialog normally does not ask the user to confirm the
action, even for locked items. The exception was a case when there was
nothing selected and Properties dialog was invoked via its hot key -
then SELECTION_TOOL::RequestSelection() tried to get the item under the
cursor, verifying the lock flag.
