--== notes about wxWidgets problems ==--

|
Kicad needs wxWidgets, the multi platform G.U.I.
|
|
Known problems:
|
|
wxMSW:
|
|
*DO NOT* use wxMSW.2.8.1
|
|
|
|
wxMSW and wxGTK
|
|
Use wxWidgets 2.8.10 or later
|
|
|
|
Linux and macOSX
|
|
- Printing problems (all version).
|
|
Note old versions of wxWidgets give *very ugly results*
|
|
(poor printing resolution set to 72ppi)
|
|
|
|
So use a very recent version (>= 2.8.10 (that also solve other bugs)
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets patch:
|
|
|
|
|
|
wxMSW, version 2.8.x
|
|
Some zoom values smaller than 3 to 5 create artifacts on screen, mainly values < 1.
|
|
(corresponding to draw scale factor > 1 )
|
|
|
|
See http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/9554 (and 11669).
|
|
|
|
This is fixed in version 2.9.x
|
|
|
|
This is a workaround that is not a full fix, but remaining artifacts are acceptable
|
|
edit file edit file <wxWidgets>/src/msw/dc.cpp
|
|
>> search for line
|
|
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 1000;
|
|
>> and replace by
|
|
static const int VIEWPORT_EXTENT = 10000;
|
|
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 2.9.1 (all platforms)
|
|
Has a problem when using the built in string to double conversion:
|
|
In countries using a comm instead of a point as floating number separator
|
|
after calling this conversion function, the comma is changed in point.
|
|
(Happens after reading a parameter stored in a wxConfig structure, if this
|
|
parameter is a double)
|
|
Workaround:
|
|
Use a version > 2.9.1
|
|
|

Patch for printing wide traces that were shown with missing rounded end caps.
|
|
Without this patch, printing boards and schematics under Linux, and perhaps OSX
|
|
gives ugly drawings.

wxGTK-2.8.11/src/generic/dcpsg.cpp

|
serach for:
|
|
line 1636
|
|
PsPrint( "%%EndProlog\n" );
|
|
|
|
Add after this line:
|
|
PsPrint("%%BeginSetup\n");
|
|
PsPrint( "1 setlinecap\n" );
|
|
PsPrint("%%EndSetup\n");
