New methods in VIEW class: SetTopLayer(), EnableTopLayer() for managing the top layer display.
New method in PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS class: LoadDisplayOptions() for applying display settings like high-contrast, outline display of items, etc.
Pcbnew, layer manager: add option (popup menu) to always keep copper layers not visible but the active layer, even when the active layer is changed.
Usefull for multilayer ( more than 4 layers) PCBs.
In particular the new mechanism for handling extended color palettes is in place,
included renaming the ini keys and saving the color name instead of its index; this means better forward compatibility with palette changes.
Since ini keys are changed, colors will be reset
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
include/vector2d.h: Removed old version
include/math/math_util.h: rescale() for VECTOR2
include/math/vector2d.h: New version of VECTOR2
include/math/box2.h: New version of BOX2
common/drawframe.cpp: Refactorization of code, so it is compatible with new classes
include/plot_common.h, pcbnew/basepcbframe.cpp: Changed header inclusion path
CMakeLists.txt: Added definition to turn on WX_COMPATIBILITY for replacement classes
* Complete encapsulation of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Fixed a bug in the EDA_TEXT::Format() default effects behavior due to
improper conversion to internal units and missing test for default
thickness.
* Improved grammar of some Pcbnew context menu strings.
* Moved some more cleverly hidden BOARD object methods into class_board.cpp.
* Lots of coding policy and documentation fixes.
standard layer name support from BOARD::GetLayerName(). This function evolved
in a contorted direction over time, and was being asked to return one of 3
different kinds of layer names, even though it only took a boolean to control
that choice.
Users are better served by forcing them to get to know the concise new
English Standard layer names. This is because these concise names show up
in the "pretty" footprint/module files as the standard representation of
both feature and copper layers.
Change the name of BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() to GetStandardLayerName().
Drop boolean argument to both BOARD::GetStandardLayerName() and
BOARD::GetLayerName().
* Complete encapsulation of the MODULE class.
* Complete encapsulation of the EDA_TEXT class.
* Encapsulate most of the ZONE_CONTAINER class.
* Add pcbcommon library as a dependency for reSWIGging the scripting
support. This should cover most dependency cases.
* Encapsulate most of the MODULE class.
* Start encapsulating the DIMENSION class.
* Lay some groundwork for EDA_TEXT encapsulation.
* Move cleverly hidden MODULE functions into class_module.cpp.
* Use std::swap to exchange TEXTE_PCB values for undo/redo.
* Remove unused members from MODULE class.
* The usual coding policy and documentation fixes.
* Make Pcbnew net list dialog honor escape key on Linux.
* Make Pcbnew swap layers dialog honor escape key on Linux.
* Layout and UI policy fixes for Pcbnew swap layer and net list dialogs.
* Layout and UI policy fixes for Eeschema plot dialog.
* Rename fpip.h to fpid.h.
* Fix FPID class compiler errors.
* Restore fpid.cpp to Pcbnew static library source list.
All: For new zoom centering option: use Shift+Ctrl key instead of Alt key to select the new zoom centering, because Alt key has a special function under Windows.
2 very minor other changes.
the crosshair after zooming.
This method is only used when the ALT key is held while using the mousewheel or
if it's permanently enabled in the options dialog next to the middle mouse
button panning option.
* Add check for pad type and force drill size to zero if pad is surface
mount in PCB_PARSER.
* Modify the D_PAD SetAttribute method to clear drill size if pad type is
set to surface mount.
* Fixed spacing issue in pad properties dialog.
* Remove wxSHAPED flag from pad drawing panel to prevent assertion in
wxSizer.
* Used sane default pad size and drill size settings to prevent wxRound
assertions.
* Add license to class_board_design_settings.cpp.
* Improve the stable and testing build version option logic.
* Use CMake FindPythonInterp to configure the Python interpreter.
* Use Python interpreter to determine the system Python module install
path if not already defined on the command line.
* Add header symbol checks for asinh(), acosh(), and atanh().
* Add test source to check for isinf() which can be defined as a C++template.
* Replace conditional compile on windows systems for aXXXh() with CMake
configuration tests.
* A few minor MSVC compile fixes.
* Fix incorrect python environment string in fixswigimports.py
* Create a separate document for KiCad CMake build options.
* Create a separate how to compile KiCad on Windows document.
Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
Could be a bug inside boost::polygon. This is a workaround, because one never knows if this kind of bug is fixed.
However it fixes this issue for the 2 boards.
Segment Hit Test: enhanced detection near segment ends (noticeable for instance when clicking on short tracks in Pcbnew.
Remove duplicate code about segment hit test.
remove unused file.
Still try to find a better fix for Bug #1100876, however I am thinking the bug is not in Kicad:
looks like a buggy version of wxWidgets is used, which sends sometimes an unwanted wxCommandEvent event,
when an event::Check() is called inside a function called by a wxUpdateUIEvent event.
It could be a race condition when setting the tools state on and off in PCB_EDIT_FRAME::OnSelectAutoPlaceMode( wxCommandEvent& aEvent ) on some Linux/wxWidgets versions
(does not happen on my computer)
Make scripting version compilable on platforms where the python executable is not python2 (define it by -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=<python executable filename>)
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
Use wxFormBuilder to create EDA_LIST_DIALOG_BASE, like other dialogs.
Minor code cleanup (remove unused functions and coding style fixes) and minor bug fixes.
Until now, 2 tracks were seen as connected only if one end of the first track is *exactly* on one end of the other track.
Now the 2 ends are seen as connected when they are "near" i.e. the distance between the 2 ends is < track width/2
* Create new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Add support for opening GEDA PCB footprints with module editor.
* Make import footprint file dialog remember last selected footprint
type during current session.
* Update module editor file import to use new GEDA PCB plug in.
* Let IO_MGR know about GEDA PCB plug in.
* Create a WHITESPACE_FILTER_READER to simplify parsing GEDA PCB footprint
files.
Because now there are 2 formats, board backup files extensions are .brd-bak or .kicad_pcb-bak instead of the old .000 extension, depending on the initial file format.
Pcbnew: Drc dialog: fix a old very minor bug.
Added: single click on an item in marker list moves the board graphic cursor on the corresponding marker location on the board
Double clicking is not modified.
* Fix offset errors when scale factor greater is than one.
* Changed behavior of fit in page when not drawing border and
title block to fit board outline in page.
* Fix offset errors when mirroring (still not 100% correct on MSW with
wxWidgets 2.9.4).
* Lots of the usual code cleaning and simplifying.
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.
This required the additional compiler command line option "-std=c++0x".
2) Switch to unique_ptr from auto_ptr which is C++ deprecated.
3) Change to new English layer names per mailing list discussion, see class_board.cpp.
4) When saving to *.kicad_pcb or *.kicad_mod, identify opportunities to use wildcard
layer sets, for pads so far.
5) Switch to two std::string hashtables in pcb_parser.cpp, away from one wxString based one
for layer names and layer sets mapping. One hashtable holds the mask, the other the index.
Layer sets are only in the mask table.
6) Move "LOCALE_IO toggle" into PCB_IO::Format() since it is a public API function and
caller should find it as convenient as possible to use. LOCALE_IO should handle
nesting OK in the case where public Format() is called from one of the Footprint*()
functions.
7) Drop support for "export module to new library". Creating new libraries will have to
be handled in concert with library table entries, and we've talked recently about
creating a better footprint library manager, one that resides in a DLL/DSO. So
this kind of functionality needs to be handled in there in the near future.
8) Change name of exported PCB_IO module/footprint to *.kicad_mod and not *.emp.
can be parsed, since they do not have an overriding layer name map
like a BOARD does.
Avoid doubly looking up hashtable entries in m_layerMap.
Minor code reformatting.
* 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.
* Add footprint methods to PCB_IO.
* Add FP_CACHE and FP_CACHE_ITEM for handling new footprint library design.
* Add code to save legacy libraries in new format.
* Change behavior of BOARD_ITEM::GetLayerName() to return the default layer
name when the item does not have a BOARD as a parent.
* Minor changes to the module output formatter when writing to module library
files (no BOARD as parent).
* Add new (and some that I forgot along the way) CMake flags to
EDA_BASE_FRAME::CopyVersionInfoToClipboard().
* Add -Wno-narrowing to GCC flags to stop GCC 4.7 from complaining about
a conversion from int to unsigned in the Boost polygon library.
* Add INPUT_STREAM_READER to richio.cpp to allow using any object derived
from wxInputStream as a LINE_READER (needs to be validated).
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.*
Coordinates were using always 3 digits (1/1000 inch for mantissa). Uses now 4 digits max in inches and 3 digits max in mm
The resolution is therefore 1/10000 inch or 1/1000 mm. Note this is a limitation of Excellon format.
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.
Use now English layers names to build filenames in plot functions (for techical layers), because translated names create sometimes problems in filenames.
(should do not change anything for English users)
* Use index when saving layers to handle translated layer names.
* Add LOCALE_IO switcher when loading s-expression format.
* Make SEGVIA default to through hole to improve file size.
* Don't save default orientation of 0 degrees in TEXTE_MODULE and TEXTE_PCB.
* Don't save default zone configuration parameters.
* Save multiple zone corners on a single line.
* Fixed missing ( check in graphic and module arc parsers.
* Consistency improvements for DRAWSEGMENT and EDGE_MODULE objects.
* Minor tweaks to D_PAD formatting.
* Change save order of drawings to match legacy file format object order.
* Set end point of SEGVIA to start point so the round trip back to legacy
format is the same.
* Fixed bug saving and loading oval pad drill parameters.
* Fixed bug saving and loading rectangular pad deltas.
* Fixed missing layer for PCB_TARGET.
* Fixed EDA_TEXT italic bug. Thanks Dick!
* Remove some left over debug logging statements.
* Apply Dick's patch along with a few minor changes to fix some clashes with
changes in my branch. Thanks Dick!
* Added missing DRAWSEGMENT line angle.
* Fix thru hole pad layer mask issue.
Tracks should be loaded in the same order as they were saved, no exceptions.
This is for the version control system user.
But even with this objective now implemented in LEGACY_PLUGIN, the TRACKS
are still going through a food processor after they are loaded, and the poor
version control system user has no relief, even with this patch.
TRACKS are always modified after being loaded, and I think this needs to be fixed still.
* Add s-expression file parser object and keyword files.
* Fix minor issues with s-expression file formatting.
* Fix a minor bug the zone container fill state parsing in the legacy plugin.
* Move EDA_TEXT visibility definition to eda_text.h.
* Add minor BOARD_ITEM object improvements to support s-expression file
parser.
pad and via sizes from those settings when diameter is not given
in the local object. Calculation algorithms are inferred from the
UI help of the Eagle program.
For edge connector type of footprints, some copper pads can be on the
back side even within packages.
Flipping of packages to back was not being done correctly, but I think this
is working now.
There are still remaining issues with text positioning that I am working on.
* 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.
fix a compil warning.
CvPcb: fix regressions :
Shows now a void field instead of the dummy footprint name $nonane (whenthere is no footprint selected in netlist).
The active footprint selection changes only if a new component is selected from the component file,
and does not change just when the next component is automatically selected, after a footprint selection.
Speed up delete association and auto associe.
This may have been an undocumented bug from more than a year ago, which manifested itself in *.mod files containing duplicate names.
LEGACY_PLUGIN loads those now quietly, but appends "_v2", "_v3", etc. to each succeeding duplicate sharing the same name.
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.
Delete LEGACY_PLUGIN cache after deleting library of same name.
Remove automatically generted freerouter help header.
Add Normalize() to BOX2.
Clamp some values in the virtual space of drawframe.cpp
Should allow Pcbnew code easier to change and Gerbview code more understandable and easier to maintain.
Code cleaning (remove dead code, add comments).
Minor other enhancements.
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.
* Move board item object Format() functions into PCB_IO object.
* Change file format to use layer names instead of numbers.
* Change file extension to kicad_pcb.

*) 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 all convert from user to internal units into base_units.cpp.
* Remove internal units parameters from all moved conversion functions.
* Revise all source code that calls the moved conversion functions.
* Remove internal units from all dialog text control helper classes.
* Move all convert from internal to user units functions into separate file.
* Remove internal units parameter from all moved conversion functions.
* Revise all source code that calls the moved conversion functions.
* Compile these conversion routines separately for the appropriate pcb or
schematic internal units.
* Move internal units specific status bar update code into the appropriate
application for updating the status bar.
* Move millimeter user units rounding function to common.cpp.
* 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.
* Fix bug in PCBNEW dialog_pad_properties.cpp that I introduced several days ago.
The m_Master_Pad stuff is stored in the PCB_EDIT_FRAME's BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS,
not in the FOOTPRINT_EDIT_FRAME's BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS (i.e. not stored in
the module editor's dummy BOARD). Now we properly initialize the
DIALOG_PAD_PROPERTIES::m_Pad_Master reference to the correct master pad
dope, instead of to the dummy module BOARD's master pad, which is not used.
* Save dialog now supports saving boards to new file format.
* Add CMake option to build s-expression file save.
* Add check to main CMakeList.txt file to make sure nanometers are
enables when the new file format is built.
* Minor tweaks to object format functions for improved output.
* Rename kicad_plugin.h/cpp to legacy_plugin.h/cpp.
This uses the new LEGACY_PLUGIN, so we can force more usage & testing of it
before ioascii.cpp and item_io.cpp are deleted, along with
BOARD_ITEM::Save() and BOARD_ITEM::ReadDescr() associated functions.
* support for 3 terminal regulators
* add a data file management to store parameters for regulators ( name, vref value, Iadj value, type)
Needs some refinements, but it is already very useable.
Commit dialog page setting patch from Alexander Zakamaldin
* Add s-expression Format() function to all objects derived from
BOARD_ITEM.
* Add s-expression Format() function to base objects as required.
* Add functions to convert coordinates from base internal units
(nanometers) to millimeter string for writing to s-expression
file.
* Add temporary dummy conversion functions to prevent link errors
until schematic and board object and action code can be separated
into DSO/DLL.
* Add CMake build option to build Pcbnew with nanometer internal
units.
* BLOCK_SELECTOR class is not longer derived from EDA_ITEM.
* Encapsulate BLOCK_SELECTOR class member variables and add access methods.
* Move HandleBlockBegin() function from block_commande.cpp to drawframe.cpp.
* Remove virtual methods from top level derived objects per future
coding policy change.
* Remove Doxygen copydoc statement from objects derived from EDA_ITEM
since the comments are automatically copied to the derived object.
* Removed copy and pasted Doxygen comments from objects derived from
EDA_ITEM.
issue in cast to wxRect fixed (EDA_RECT accepts negative size, but not wxRect, so the wxRectcast is normalized now).
This fixes some bugs.
A minor other bug fix in Pcbnew.
subclass DIALOG_SHIM support.
Tried dialog_drc but it has nesting problems due to use of DRCLISTBOX, which
needs to be put into its own header file to untangle.
DLIST iterator code, now we can do:
for module in pcb.m_Modules:
print module.GetReference()
instead of:
module = pcb.m_Modules
while module:
print module.GetReference()
module = module.Next()
or even:
module_list = list(pcb.m_Modules)
* All objects derived from EDA_ITEM now have consistent hit test method
definitions.
* Remove double function calls from all classes derived from SCH_ITEM.
* Lots of Doxygen comment fixes.
* make 2 bitmaps more visible.
* fix incorrect screen redraw when rotating a component.
* netlist : the pcbnew advanced format can be now stored (persistant option) in project config.
Pcbnew:
* graphic_item_properties_base.fbp * dialog pad edit: make some strings more easier to translate.
* global pad edition: fix a bug that change pad position instead of pad size (round pas only).
Eeschema:
* fix a bug: new created wires were not alwaes shows until the screen was redrawn.
wxWidgets 2.9 knows wxSVGFILEDC device context.
Unfortunately, arcs are drawn as pies (this is a feature, not a bug).
This is not correct for Kicad.
So Kicad has its own wxSVGFILEDC (named KicadSVGFileDC) that is basically the same as wxSVGFILEDC,
but with arcs drawn as arcs, not pies.
Note also under wxWidgets 2.8 does not know wxSVGFILEDC , so kicad had already its own SVG device context.
* Pcbnew: in hight contrast mode the 'V' hotkey did not always refresh the screen.
* Eeschema: incorrect print scale when the option 'Show page limits' is disable.
derived classes' implementations of these functions become non virtual and
can be truly _inlined_ for speed! All GetPosition() in derived classes were also
changed to return const wxPoint&, that is, a reference rather than a
full copy of the position wxPoint. There was no need for polymorphism in
{Get,Set}Position() since we never call these functions via generic pointer.
* Remove BOARD::{Get,Set}Position() since they were only there to satisfy
the pure virtuals established in BOARD_ITEM, which are now gone.
* Added const wxPoint& CPolyLine::GetPos(), made CPolyLine::Get{X,Y}() inline.
* Derive CPolyPt from wxPoint so we can return "const wxPoint&" fromt
CPolyLine::GetPos().
Eeschema: Viewlib is now accessible from Libedit (to browse libs or load a component to edit)
Libedit: uses now the same dialog as the schematic editor to load a component
Some code cleaning.
which is in turn already within BOARD.
* encapsulate class D_PAD with accessors, making data private.
* make D_PAD::GetBoundingRadius() do its longer calculation lazily, based on
m_boundingRadius == -1.
Design rules: increase number of vias and tracks sizes
Pcbnew: netlist reader: change from my recent commits to keep netnames in pads for footprints not in netlist
(allow an user to place some footprints by hand, set pads netnames and do not lost these netnames when loading a netlsit)
Fix other very minor issues.
the match between wxString::Format() or wxString::Printf() format strings
with passed arguments, but does this at runtime, not compile time.
Fix some mismatches. size_t is a 64 bit type on x86_64 whereas int and
unsigned are 32 bit types. On 32 bit machines they are all 32 bits so
this error is probably not triggered.
* Added a dialog to select options: one or 2 files, units (mm or inch), and force INSERT option.
* code cleaning
* Modify corresponding icon in menu to show a footprint, not a schematic component.
* Eeschema can generate this netlist format.
* Pcbnew can use (automatic identification) the current format or the new format.
* Cvpcb does not use yet the new format.
* Enhance class PLUGIN's comments to improve their value as instructional.
* Switch #includes from "file.h" to <file.h>, and fiddle with search paths
by using include_directories(BEFORE ...)
* dialog_page_settings did not have symmetrical space on its right border.
And it now remembers it last position and size within a program session.
* base_screen.cpp is now compiled twice, once for {pcbnew,cvpcb} and once
for eeschema, in preparation for "compile time" support of internal units
rather than "runtime" support.
sizes. Tested with postscript output only. Required minor file format changes
to reflect the "portrait" setting. common/dialogs/dialog_page_settings.cpp
uses a checkbox but its name is "Landscape", which is inverted from portrait,
but since it is the more common choice, I used that rather than portrait.
The tooltip for that checkbox makes it clear. No portrait mode is supported
for "User" paper size.
* Remove unnecessary copy constructors from board and module library
objects.
* Add doClone() method to board and library objects.
* Add comment to class definitions where the default copy constructor
generated by the compiler was adequate.
* Replace copy method with clone method where applicable.
* Remove DuplicateStruct() function.
* Remove track object copy function.
This feature is very useful for electronics hobbyists who use DIY PCB technology
(both toner transfer and photoresist methods).
Also width correction may be useful for PCB designers who take care of track width etching.
This patch also fixes some minor PS plotting issues.
note: the Module editor save it with default orientation and layer, but the archive function does not, so some footprints can be not editable.
TODO: modify the Archive Function to use the default layer / orientation.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
* A track is seen connected to a pad if the track end is inside the pad shape.
* Pads inside pads are now seen connected, if the center of the pad is *inside* the other pad.
* this is made to be sure a large copper area is shared by the 2 pads, and to keep algorithm fast.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME completely encapsulated except for DrawFrame member.
* Moved members specific to Pcbnew from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME
or PCB_EDIT_FRAME as appropriate.
* Replace EDA_TOOLBAR with wxAuiToolBar as EDA_TOOL bar provided no
additional functionality and made code less readable.
* Remove EDA_TOOLBAR class definition from wxstruct.h and delete file
wineda_toolbar.cpp.
* Rename tool bar members to something more descriptive since the
horizontal and vertical references wont mean anything once the
tool bars are movable.
* Lots of dead code removal.
KICAD_PLUGIN::Load() is solid now, except for missing globals, which
still need to get moved into the class BOARD.
Same for KICAD_PLUGIN::Save(), only missing globals, which once they
are in the BOARD class, will be added.
* changed all the RotatePoint() functions in trigo.{h,cpp} to take a double as the
angle, which is still in tenths of degrees for now.
* EDA_TEXT::m_Orient is now double, still in tenths of degrees (for a short while),
but the double means parsing files and saving them use a different format string.
++pcbnew
* DRAWSEGMENT::GetStart() and GetEnd() do not operate for S_ARC like they used to.
They are now simply accessors for m_Start and m_End. Use DRAWSEGMENT::GetArcStart()
and GetArcEnd() and GetCenter() for arcs. specctra_export.cpp was the only
source file dependent on the old behavior.
* DIMENSION::m_Text is now contained, not dynamically allocated.
* more kicad_plugin work.
* added BOARD::GetPad(int), made BOARD::m_NetInfo private, and contained
within the BOARD, not dynamically allocated and owned via pointer.
* added BOARD::GetPadCount()
* changed NETINFO_LIST::GetCount() to GetNetCount()
* added BOARD::GetNetCount()
* more kicad_plugin work.
* Fix compil issue about automatically created pcb_plot_params.h :
pcb_plot_params.* moved from pcbnew to common because item_io.cpp (using this file) is compiled in common.
In common.cpp GetTimeStamp is renamed GetNewTimeStamp (a better name).
Pcbnew: prepare work to calculate connections between pads that inteserct and therefore can be connected without any track (composite pads).
which should eventually go away in favor of kicad_plugin.cpp.
Add CMake options USE_NEW_PCBNEW_LOAD and USE_NEW_PCBNEW_SAVE, which should not be
used yet, and both default to OFF accordingly.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), since BOARD::m_PcbFrame gone.
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* Added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* A couple of dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various ways of
destroying the derived classes and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a

destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
Enhanced algorithms to calculate board connections:
Previously, a track was seen connected to a pad only if the track end is
exactly on the pad position.
Now a track is seen connected to a pad if the track end is inside the pad shape.
Algorithm to calculate pads connections to track is still very fast.
However some other functions (drag pads, track len calculation ...)
still need the track end exactly on the pad position.
Dead code removal.
* Replace Eeschema find code with a collector based implementation.
* Fixed a search bug when all subsequent searches of an item would ignore
the remaining valid child items when an item had more than one child
item that matched the search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECTOR class to find all items that meet the specified
search criteria.
* Add SCH_FIND_COLLECT0R_DATA to keep track of information for all matching
items.
* Use collector to iterate over the list of items that match the search
criteria rather than trying to start at the last matched item.
* Remove unused searching methods from sheet path and sheet path list
objects.
* Add replace and replace all functionality to Eeschema find dialog.
* Push matching methods down to EDA_ITEM class so they can be used by
other derived objects.
* Add method to EDA_ITEM to test if item supports replacing.
* Add flag to find/replace data to support replace feature.
* Disable wild card matching check box when dialog is in replace mode as
wild card replacement is not supported at this time.
* The usual Doxygen comment and coding policy fixes.
the GetPosition() and SetPosition() changes. It also starts towards making m_Orientation
and m_Thickness fields private with accessors, but does not complete this latter goal.
* Replace C malloc() and free() functions with C++ new and delete
operators or the appropriate STL container.
* Add option to end mouse capture function to skip executing the end
mouse capture callback.
* Lots of coding policy and Doxygen comment goodness.
Added configuartion option KICAD_NANOMETRIC for this.
* With option set to false: *
- it should work and compile as usual
- some values are saved with decimal point (which should be backward/forward compatible as old versions should just drop fractional part)
* With option set to true: *
- lengths in Global Design Rules should be settable 1nm steps.
FROM/TO_LEGACY_LU(_DBL) macros introduced for easy interconnection between old and new units.
* Use version of DateAndTime that returns a wxString and delete the
version that takes a char* as it is no longer required.
* Merge StrNumICmp() and StrLenNumICmp() into StrLenNumCmp() to create a
single function for comparing strings with integers and remove a lot
of duplicate code.
* Remove unused strupper from string.cpp.
* Use wxArrayString for sorting the EDA_LIST_DIALOG contents.
* Modify algorithm to correctly calculate the virtual drawing size and
offset required to place the drawing correctly under all conditions.
* Ignore default wxWidgets scroll keys on Windows in EDA_DRAW_PANEL key
event handler.
Lee algorithm replaced by a Minimun Spanning Tree algo (using Prim's algorithm ).
Tested on a 5350 pads board, it is more than 100 times faster.
Also fix a crash when clicking on tool "delete selected items" (main horizontal toolbar),
and remove this tool (currently, no code in Pcbnew for this tool)
More about code refactoring in connect.cpp: RecalculateAllTracksNetcode() is 50 times faster with a board using 27000 tracks
Use right icon in pcbnew for load board and new board.

an auto save.
* Check for auto save file when opening a board and ask user if they
wish to use the auto save file or the last saved board file.
* Protect all base frame public members.
* 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.
* Add visible clearance when edit node or track segment,
add parameter "show clearance for new or edited track with via area"
in "Display options" menu.
* Move auto save time global variables into PCB_EDIT_FRAME object.
* Move footprint library name list global variable int PCB_EDIT_FRAME
object.
* Improve library back up and temporary file error message strings and make
them translatable.
* PCBNew string unification.
* Translate French code names and comments.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* 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.
* Remove sine and cosine look up tables from trigo.cpp and replace them with
sin() and cos() math functions.
* Large include file clean up to prevent header ordering dependency build
failures.
* Translate French code names and comments.
* Lots of coding style policy and doxygen comment fixes.
* Refactor locate footprint function into the board object.
* Remove locate.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Actually remove track.cpp from repo that I missed on the last commit.

* dialog_erc handle variable size icons in erc matrix.
Remove or move old .ico and .pgn files and add new icons (.ico files and .png files) in bitmaps_png/icons and bitmaps_xpm/icons
.png files and .ico are used to build desktop shortcuts
Handle variable size bitmaps in kicad.
* Add hotkey fast switch to two grids: for place and trace
Alt+"1" - switch grid for place module
Alt+"2" - switch grid for trace
This two grid set in dialog - menu Preferences->Dimensions->Grid.
* Add hotkey switch grid:
"`" - switch to next grid
Ctrl+"`" - switch to previous grid
* Add hotkey switch track width:
"W" - switch to next track width
Ctrl+"W" - switch to previous track width
cmakemodules:
* Add GOST to KICAD_BUILD_VERSION if define KICAD_GOST.
* Changed <wx-2.8/xml/xml.h> to "xnode.h" in pcbnew_config.cpp to fix bug
when building against wxWidgets 2.9 and above.

* Overloaded XNODE constructor for creating child nodes.
* Translate French naming conventions.
* Translate French comments.
* Remove tabs from several source files.
* Coding style policy and Doxygen comment fixes.
* Add hotkey "P" - place item
* Add record and play macros for sequence hotkey.
Macros set to numeric key 0..9.
<Ctrl>+<numkey> - start record macros
