Fixed some issues with wxWidgets 2.9.1 (fixed Gerbview and Pcbnew crashes under Linux when starting. Could explain also crashes under MACOSX)
Code cleaning.
pcbnew:
Added experimental zone fill calculations with boost::polygon
old file zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons.cpp has now 2 versions:
zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons_with_Boost.cpp use boost::polygon to calculate filled areas
zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons_with_BKbool.cpp use kbool (code cleaned).
>>> to use boost polygon version:
call cmake with option: -DUSE_BOOST_POLYGON_LIBRARY=ON
Eeschema: added patches from Yuri Khalyavin
Fixed compil warning under wxWidgets 2.9.1.
File beautification
Statring using wxTextEntryDialog instead of Get_Message (because Get_Message does not handle properly cancel option)
inches and mm, the industry is crazy enough to force us with mixed
design. For example I routinely use imperial units for track size and
clearance, but drilling is strictly a metric issue...
So I added a little parser to recognize a suffix specification in the
unit text boxes... so you can put in things like:
1in (1 inch)
1" (idem)
25th (25 thou)
25mi (25 mils, the same)
6mm (6 mm, obviously)
The rules are: spaces between the number and the unit are accepted, only
the first two letters are significant.
As a bonus, it also recognize the period (.) as a decimal point
substituting it with the correct locale character (there was a wishlist
for it, IIRC). Most useful for number pad fans :D
* Continue component library class clean up and encapsulation work.
* Change hierarchical sheet label container to boost::vector_ptr.
* Encapsulate hierarchical label handling in hierarchical sheet class.
* Convert some missed occurrences of wxString::GetData() to GetChars( wxString ).
* Fix some minor code formatting issues.
In netlist generation, changed the rule to calculate netnames of nets with labels:
Previously, named nets (i.e. nets with local, hierarchical or global labels) have their name
defined by the first label found in list.
So net names could be changed without really changing the schematic.
Now the names are calculated from the rules (by priority order) :
1 - use the most top level labels in hierarchies.
2 - use global labels first, local labels next (hidden power pins names are global labels).
3 - use alphabetic sort (so, if GND and AGND are connected, the net will be always named AGND,
and adding a VSS connection cannot change the net name)
So power nets and nets that have more than one label cannot have their netname changed
if there is no actual change relative to these nets names in schematic
* Fix a minor problem with wxFileDialog to open a file that no longer
exists in PCBNew.
* Make GerbView open file behavior the same as PCBNew.
* Remove redundant PCB file wild card definition.
* Add open file refactor task to the todo list.
* Fix some minor code formatting issues.
* Add CMake script to generate DSN token header and source file from
token list file.
* Add preliminary component library DSN token list and lexer file to
test script and prepare for new component library file lexer.
* EESchema: right click on ERC check mark displays error in message panel.
* Remove PCBNew header file dependency from common DSN lexer source.
* Minor code clean ups.
* Some bugs fixed
* Starting enhancements in Libedit: menubar and commands to "plot" current component in PNG or SVF file (SVG file not fully working, must be refined)
* Replaced find dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* New find dialog is modeless, supports more advanced search features,
remembers it's last position, size, search history, and search settings,
and implements initial support for replacing.
* Added Shift+F5 hot key to search for next DRC marker. F5 now just
repeats previous search.
* Minor cosmetic enhancements to label edit dialog.
* Remove tab from grid size text printf to fix toolbar grid combobox
display in wxGTK.
* Updated my TODO list items.
- in bloc delete, *do not delete* reference and value fields, that must always exits.
- in block copy *do not duplicate* fields that must be unique for the whole component.
a common part being defined as have a common value.
This is true for most designs but will produce an
incorrect output if two or more parts with the same
value have different footprints, tolerances, voltage
rating, etc. Also usefull if the following fields
are edited:
FIELD1 - manufacture
FIELD2 - manufacture part number
FIELD3 - distributor part number
Check in code for now, doc later.
(non consistent edit pin per pin option and erroneous pin number edition)
Pcbnew: fixing a problem in dialog design rules for small screens (768 pixels height); Better look on bigger screens
* Make USE_WX_ZOOM clipping routine actually clip rather than just test
if line needs drawn.
* Clean up as many USE_WX_ZOOM #ifdefs as possible.
* Minor coordinate rounding improvements.
* Minor scrolling and panning improvements.
* Remove unused KicadGraphicContext object code.
