their type, by using the more abstract PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions.
This is an intermediate phase only, other changes will be necessary as library table support comes in.
Encapsulate usage of library path searching, since that will go away as library table support comes in.
Add FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibPath() and FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME::{get,set}LibNickName() functions
to provide this encapsulation.
* If this param is set to 0, the previous behavior is used.
* Else the solder mask is plotted as polygon, with shapes near than this min width value are merged.
Pcbnew in nanometer version: fix a serious rounding issue due to the fact dialogs were using 4 digits for mantissa.
* This is not enough for nanometer coordinates ( 8 are needed to display a value in inches),
* so sometimes after closing a dialog, some coordinates were modified, although no new value was entered.
Minor other bug fixed.
SVG export does not use no more wxWidgets wxDC.
In pcbnew SVG files can be created by plot menu (in B&W) or export SVG menu (B&W or Color).
Export SVG menu is more suitable to create a view of a board, and plot menu is better to create a B&W document of silkscreen layers.
(In the future, the 2 menus could be merged, because they are not very different).
Note: pcbnew plot code is cleaned, mainly in dialog files, but still needs more cleanup.
Mainly to plot drill maps, but can be used to plot boards, for documentation.
The print svg still exists, but the plot SVG has more options (mirroring, holes in pads),
however print svg allows color print, and full board printing, and plot does not.
and therefore tracks are now dragged when a end point is inside a pad, not necessary on the pad position.
However, drag functions still need more cleanup.
therefore tracks which have a end point inside a pad, but not necessaryexactly to the pad position are seen as connected, and are no more removed.
Side effect: reconnect to pads option is removed, because it is useless.
TODO: use this algorithm in drag functions.
Minor other fixes
Kicad manager: shows now svg files in tree files.
Pcbnew: fix incorrect printing (board out of page) when creating drill map in postscript format ( noticeable mainly for small boards)
All: press ctrl+shift key when moving the mouse allows the graphic cursor to be moved outside the grid.
(useful to place graphic objects, texts in any position, regardless the current grid)
This is *a work in progress*, so some features are missing, and/or could be modified.
Mainly keepout zones are not yet exported to autorouters, and pads are not taken in account.
Some code cleanup in polygon.*
When reading board files, the net 0 was stored twice.
It creates only log messges in debug mode, because the list of nets is rebuild after reading files.
* Derive the pcbnew copper zone and non-copper zone dialog windows from DIAG_SHIM,
which injects some template code.
* Update UIpolicies.txt to talk about DIALOG_SHIM support.
* Add zone support to eagle_plugin.
* Organize ZONE_CONTAINER class declaration for future privacy and accessors.
