Each Gerber image is "ORed" with previous images, like in Pcbnew.
|
|
Try to optimize Draw function in buffered modes.
|
|
(Useful for PC that have problems with "blit" graphic function)
|
|

|
2010-dec-02, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
|
|
================================================================================
|

Pcbnew:
|
|
For zone filling algo, change the default polygon library from Kbool to Boost::polygon.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-dec-01, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
Gerbview:
|
|
Added support for complex definitions of parameters in aperture macros and primitives macro
|
|
(a complex definition in a parameter that is calculated by an arithmetical expression)
|
|
Gerbview should now have a decent support of Gerber language.
|
|
Currently only the obscure knockout command is not supported (I have no motivation to do that)
|
|
Other "bug":
|
|
scale in A and B axis is poorly supported: coordinates are scaled, but shapes can have problem:
|
|
fro instance, a circle is drawn as a circle when A and B scales are different,
|
|
and perhaps should be an ellipse.
|
|
On the other hand, Gerber doc is not clear about the meaning of A and B scale.
|
|
(Alas! Gerber doc is not clear about most of advanced commands)
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
2010-Oct-5 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
++richio:
|
|
* LINE_READER now has a GetSource() function which is used in error
|
|
reporting. This is typically the name of the file which is supplying the
|
|
lines of text, or string "clipboard" if the text is coming from the clipboard.
|
|
Derived classes FILE_LINE_READER and STRING_LINE_READER's constructors both
|
|
need an additional parameter which identifies the source.
|
|
* FILE_LINE_READER now owns the source FILE and will close it in its destructor.
|
|
This resulted in the removal of several fclose() statements that had been
|
|
there to close a file associated with a FILE_LINE_READER.
|
|
* DSNLEXER now supports an internal LINE_READER* stack which is used to handle
|
|
nested s-expression files, with the ability to resume from the proper place
|
|
in the containing file. There is now PushReader() and PopReader() functions
|
|
in DSNLEXER to handle this. No protection is provided against circular
|
|
inclusions, but this could be done by searching the stack and comparing
|
|
GetSource() values for anything already on the stack before pushing.
|
|
Each s-expression grammar is free to define one or more keywords that cause
|
|
nesting to occur. That policy choice is not part of DSNLEXER's job.
|
|
One example might be:
|
|
(inherit (footprint library_uri ftprintname))
|
|
|
|
2010-oct-04 UPDATE Wayne Stambaugh <stambaughw@verizon.net>
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
Initial work on new component library stucture.
|
|
* Use C++ map in component library instead of boost::ptr_vector.
|
|
* Drop Boost pointer containers for standard C++ containers.
|
|
* Moved duplicate name user interface elements from library object to
|
|
library editor.
|
|
* Added code to support direct addition and replacement of component
|
|
alias objects into libraries.
|
|
* Removed temporary strings used to add and remove alias objects.
|
|
* Libraries only store alias objects, components now accessed thru alias.
|
|
* Simplify library API for adding, removing, and replacing components.
|
|
* Updated edit component in library dialog and library editor to reflect
|
|
component library object changes.
|
|
* Fixed bug in library viewer when displaying alias name.
|
|
* Made a few header files compile stand alone per the new coding policy.
|
|
* Remove some dead code and the usual code formatting fixes.

|
|
and do not use tracks from pcbnew.
|
|
The way used to draw them is also new.
|
|
Apertures are now correctly drawn for round, oval, rectangular and regular polygon shapes
|
|
(with or without holes)
|
|
Aperture definition type Polygon is not yet handle.
|

|
|
component.
|
|
* There is an auto-generated class called NETLIST_LEXER which is defined in
|
|
from netlist.keywords by TokenList2DsnLexer.cmake into netlist_lexer.h, that

but hides this behind accessors which provide for both Unicode and 8 bit
|
|
set and get functions.
|
|
* build_BOM.cpp retains the selected filename on subsequent runs as a default.

|
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:
|
|
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
|

|
++eeschema:
|
|
Added "template fieldnames" to eeschema. Thanks to
|
|
Brian Sidebotham <brian.sidebotham@gmail.com> for the origins of this patch.
|
|
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg04828.html
|
|
|
|
A template fieldnames are a list of template elements
|
|
consisting of {name, value, visibility} which you want shown in the eeschema
|
|
component fieldname (property) editors (both schematic and library versions
|
|
of the editors). Template fieldnames are forced into the editors'
|
|
presentation of the fields even though those fields may not exist in the
|
|
component. Entering a non-blank value while in a field editor will cause the
|
|
field & value to be retained in the component. Therefore it is unusual to
|
|
provide a non-blank '.value' in a template, because a trip through the field
|
|
editor will invariably add that field to the component since the template
|
|
being applied has initially a non blank 'value'. The current template editor
|
|
is only going to last about a week and it does not support adding non-blank
|
|
template values yet, nor visibility control, only field '.name'. But the
|
|
template fieldnames configuration storage and component field editors do
|
|
know how to handle template.visible and template.value already, in addition
|
|
to template.name. See the file .eeschema in your home directory for the
|
|
configuration storage, keyword: FieldNames. e.g. only field Manufacturer has
|
|
a '.value':
|
|
|
|
FieldNames=(templatefields (field (name "Manufacturer")(value "IBM 12")) (field (name "Vendor")) (field (name "Installed")) (field (name "Ralphy") visible))
|
|
|
|
DSNLEXER is used to parse the FieldNames record, & OUTPUTFORMATTER to generate it.

bitmap2component:
|
|

|
2010-jun-10, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras <jean-pierre.charras@gipsa-lab.inpg.fr>
|
|
================================================================================
|
|
Added an experimental tool (bitmap2component) to create logos from .bmp bitmaps. Added Potrace library to convert bitmaps to polygons
|
|
This tool uses potarce library that converts a bitmap picture (.bmp or .pgm format) to a set of polygons.
|
|
bitmap2component converts a bitmap to a .emp footprint (that can be imported by modedit) or a .lib component that can be
|
|
imported by libedit.
|
|
Note: imported bitmaps logos are vectored by potrace, so there is no pixelation effect.
|
|
Scale is 1:1 for 300ppi pictures.
|
|
bitmap2component currently runs only is command line mode
|
|
run
|
|
bitmap2component bitmapfile.bmp bitmapfile.lib 1 to create a schematic component logo
|
|

2010-Feb-20 UPDATE Dick Hollenbeck <dick@softplc.com>

DSNLEXER now supports:
|
|
1) nested quotes. This is in anticipation of broader usage of the
|
|
file type/syntax. A string like this in the file:
|
|
"my ""favorate"" string"
|
|
can be returned as
|
|
my "favorite" string
|
|
2) CommentsAsTokens is implemented, so you can ask the lexer to return
|
|
comments as tokens, so they can be preserved. The default is to ignore
|
|
them. A comment is defined as any line that has # as its first
|
|
non-blank character. (This means comments cannot follow anything else
|
|
on a line.)

================================================================================
|
|
++any
|
|
Finished up complete implementation of class LAYER_WIDGET and am now ready to
|
|
integrate it into PCBNEW. This class was kept as general as possible by
|
|
omitting as many Kicad document structures as possible, and so can be used
|
|
in GERBVIEW. For GERBVIEW it could benefit from some minor additional
|
|
work such as a "move up" function for layer order changes. This is a matter
|
|
of rearranging wxWindows within the m_LayersFlexGridSizer.
|
|
Integration into PCBNEW should be done in just a few days.

++All
|
|
Use wxAutoBufferedPaintDC in OnPaint event
|
|
Seems solves slow grid redraw on some PC (tested under Window 7)
|
|
and is faster than use wxPaintDC, not buffered
|
|
(note MACOSX has natively a double buffer, so no change for MACOSX)

++Gerbview
|
|
Added support of arcs in polygons outlines.
|
|
Needed to show copper areas in some gerber files
|
|
Not fully tested but works better than without this support...

++pcbnew
|
|
- fixed a potential bug in a fill zone function: AddClearanceAreasPolygonsToPolysList()
|
|
- Try to fix a problem with AddClearanceAreasPolygonsToPolysList() under Window Vista and Window 7
|
|
This is perhaps a problem in kbool library
|
|
(a bug in Bool_Engine destructor ?)
|
|
It happens when:
|
|
- a lot of polygon corners are added in group A
|
|
- nothing in group B
|
|
- No operation asked in kbool engine ( that also has a bug if an operation is asked
|
|
with no polygon in group B)
|
|
- and call the Bool_Engine destructor.
|
|
Could be a stack error or overflow, very hard to locate and debug.
|
|
- Under Vista seems create always a crash.
|
|
- Under Window 7 sometimes create a crash.
|
|
- No problem under XP and Linux.
|
|
-Workaround:
|
|
Leave the group A void if group B is void.
|
|
I am not sure this change fix the problem.
|
|
Just it solves this problem with 2 samples boards that crash Pcbnew without this change.
