This plugin mechanism is enabled only if option -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON (it is off by default)
It imply -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=0N
This is currently for testing purposes only for developers, not yet for users.
*) Extend SWIG support deeper into the BOARD class.
*) Move swig *.i files into a directory identified for SWIG, in preparation
for a parallel universe involving Phoenix's SIP.
*) Move swig files which will be common to both eeschema and pcbnew into
common/swig.
*) Sketch out a "common" python module, and plan on dovetailing that into a
libkicad_shared.{dll,so}
*) Add common/swig/ki_exceptions.i and define a macro HANDLE_EXCEPTIONS()
which is to be applied to any function which needs C++ to python
exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad
phase III.
* Switched hashtables.h over to std::undordered_map from boost version.
* Added new macros DECL_VEC_FOR_SWIG() and DECL_MAP_FOR_SWIG() in macros.h.
These along with future DECL_HASH_FOR_SWIG() unify the declaration to swig
and C++ so that the resultant type name is common in both languages, and
the types AGREE.
* Fixed swigging of NETINFO_ITEM and NETINFO_LIST via magic.
* Newly exposed (python wrapped) are: D_PADS, TRACKS (was TRACK_PTRS),
NETNAME_MAP, NETCODE_MAP, wxString (without constructor purposely, read
comment in wx.i), MARKERS, ZONE_CONTAINERS, NETCLASSPTR, KICAD_T types.
* std::vector<SOMETHING*> tends to end up named SOMETHINGS in C++ and python.
Having the name consistent between like types is helpful, and between
languages. std::map<> ends up as SOMETHING_MAP.
* NETINFO_LIST::m_netNames and NETINFO_LIST::m_netCodes are now std::map
instead of hashtables, because swig does not yet support std::unordered_map.
* You can now get to any netclass or net info. NETNAMES_MAP and NETCODES_MAP
are traversable basically the same as a python dictionary using a python
string (not wsString) as the key! The wxString typemap converts python
string to wxString before the lookup happens. Iteration also works.
* Coding policy fixes in the scripting initialization code missed in my previous commit.
* Remove redundant checks for valid Python library paths in kicadplugins.i.
* Actually install the contents of the pcbnew/scripting/plugins directory on
Windows and Linux
* Move the test for existence of a directory before adding it to the Python
system library paths when loading the Python plugins.
footprint wizard frame: now shows messages from footprints python scripts. Especially usefull when a parameter is incorrect. Fix also an other issue (IO error) with some scripts which were usint the print command to output messages (now they use the nes message window.
* Wrap Pgm().OnPgmExit() changes in APP_SINGLE_TOP to build conditionally
when KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON is enabled.
* Check the result of loading the correct wxPython version during
initialization.
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
* Add test to CMakeLists.txt to verify wxPython is installed when
KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON.
* Add test to make sure wxPython version major and minor numbers match
the version of wxWidgets found.
* Add code to set the correct version of wxPython to the python scripting
initialization code.
* Minor code simplification in Pcbnew KIFACE main window creation.
BOM dialog: remove a not very useful button, and merge its function with an other (not perfect, need more work)
Add message box to show info added in BOM python scripts (See scripts/bom-in-python/README-bom.txt about this info)
* Add more missing source code licenses.
* Fix coding policy violations (tabs and trailing white space) in Python
scripting code.
* Add stable release policy to full documentation build.
Kicad manager: fix issues in file watcher: changes (adding/removing files) in project folder not seen by Kicad manager (perhaps due to changes in internal wxWidgets code between 2.9.5 and 3.0).
*.i : fix coding style issues.
python method: add BOARD_ITEM Duplicate, which is a wrapper to Clone(). ( defined as Cast_to_BOARD_ITEM(selt.Clone()).Cast() )
update some .py examples.
Dialog Freeroute: if freeroute.jar is find in kicad binaries, it is run as a standard java application, not as web applcation
Very minor other fixes
FPC_(SMD_type)_footprintwizard.py wizard finished.
* Make footprint viewer work properly with library table.
* Fix bug in Eagle plugin when enumerating footprints.
* Add missing P-CAD plugin from footprint library table editing dialog.
* Fix bug in FOOTPRINT_INFO::LoadLibraries when error occur loading footprints
from libraries.
pcbnew.py + doxygen-xml files, and build .i files with docstrings,
those .i files are included back again to build a pcbnew.py with
extended documentation from C++, finally we take the final pcbnew.py
to build the doxygen-python documentation
* 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.
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.
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)
