this option was possible only by modifying the way display options are managed.
before these changes, display options were a global DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
Now each EDA_DRAW_FRAME(and derivated classes) includes its own DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
As a consequence, some duplicate display option variables in these classes have been removed, because there were just duplicate variables of the DISPLAY_OPTIONS class instance.
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
base on expected text and current window font.
Expand the virtual world to 2.14 meters in the nanometer build of PCBNEW.
This seems to be holding up for now.
Other scaling factors (MILS_TO_IU_SCALING_FACTOR and DECIMILS_TO_IU_SCALING_FACTOR)
also defined only in convert_to_biu.h.
Allows different scaling value for Gerbview.
Needs more tests.
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.
*) for footprint access into *.mod files and
*) BOARD save/load
The item_io.cpp and ioascii.cpp have been set off to the side for reference
as *.notused, for awhile.
The CMake options USE_NEW_PCBNEW_LOAD and USE_NEW_PCBNEW_SAVE are gone,
this is now the mandatory usage of the LEGACY_PLUGIN. This should reduce
code maintenance for awhile until the s-expression plugin comes into
play. But at least for legacy format, there is not two code bodies
to maintain any more.
A new LEGACY_PLUGIN footprint library caching scheme is in place which
needs some testing. It should not be any faster, but might give better
results in a networked environment if there is *.mod files on the server.
* Remove internal units from BASE_SCREEN and it's derivatives.
* Remove internal units from EDA_DRAW_FRAME and it's derivatives.
* Use build time code to replace internal units conversions.
* Fix scaling bug in page layout sample window that I created in my
last commit.
* Move EDA_TEXT object into separate header and source file.
* Compile EDA_TEXT class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Compile PAGE_INFO class separately for BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM units.
* Minor formatting tweaks to Pcbnew s-expression file.
* Move internal unit formatting functions into BOARD_ITEM and SCH_ITEM.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
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.
* Moved ReturnLayerName() to static BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() and migrated
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.
* Create single event handler for grid size events.
* Fix all frame windows to use new grid size event handler.
* Use offset relative to ID instead of ComboBox index to save last grid size.
* Move last grid size load/save setting into WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Add equality and assignment operators the GRID_TYPE.
* Add current grid helper methods to BASE_SCREEN.
* Add GetPins helper to LIB_COMPONENT to replace GetNextPin where applicable.
* Add AppendMsgPanel helper to WinEDA_DrawFrame.
* Improve rounding for display of coordinates when millimeter units are selected.
* Split out application specific command IDs to prevent unnecessary rebuilding.
* Eliminate duplicate menu and tool bar command IDs.
* Split component library editor and viewer definitions to separate header files.
* More component library and document file merge code.
* A bunch of minor string readability and consistency fixes.
