Re: [Kicad-developers] Question about gerber job file numeric format

OK, so both the JSON format itself and the Ucamco gerber format (which is not necessarily the same as the job file format, but hey) specify storing doubles. But, the examples in the Ucamco doc, and KiCad itself, do not store doubles. I have to imagine that the gerber job file format is so new

Re: [Kicad-developers] Question about gerber job file numeric format

The Ucamco "decimal" type is defined on page 40 of [1].  They define it as fitting into an IEEE double. I think keeping user-specified data would be desired and not truncate the value unless requested.Seth[1] http://www.ucamco.com/files/downloads/file/81/the_gerber_file_format_specification.pdfOn

Re: [Kicad-developers] Question about gerber job file numeric format

Safer because we’ve been writing them out like that for some time. Maybe someone has some huge hack that uses fixed-length regular expressions to parse them or something. In the absence of a spec, the examples are what people use. I’m not convinced this is the best plan either — but I am

Re: [Kicad-developers] Question about gerber job file numeric format

Why is B safer? To me, B sounds riskier as there is a chance we are throwing away data. I'm not in favor of implementing B without a clear spec (and I guess Ucamco would need to be involved) on what guarantees can be made. Right now, we implement B based on some apparently arbitrary assumptions

Re: [Kicad-developers] Question about gerber job file numeric format

Safest would be (b). We could probably do something pretty dumb (ie: set a single value in the JSON printer which it uses for precision). > On 24 Dec 2019, at 15:22, Jon Evans wrote: > > Hi all, > > The Gerber job file specification[1] says that the format follows the JSON > standard, and

[Kicad-developers] Question about gerber job file numeric format

Hi all, The Gerber job file specification[1] says that the format follows the JSON standard, and doesn't say much else about numeric value storage. But, in the examples in that spec, decimal (floating-point) values are all truncated with only a few digits after the decimal point. The manual

[Kicad-developers] KiCad Website DNS Down

Is there a planned outage at CERN for the webhosting DNS? I am trying to get to the kicad-pcb.org site and it is throwing a DNS error (unable to locate the IP for the site), and nslookup also can't find it. -Ian ___ Mailing list:
