Now Ver 0.002.
Now has improved shading for the lighter shades of gray, & you can now build a picture
using squares, or circles.
Protel seems to handle the squares much faster than the circles during DRC if you
place the graphic on a signal layer. Thoug the images may look rough & different
during different levels of zoom, this is mainly due to the way Protel draws the
screen. It's like looking at a polygon fill at different zoom levels.
The silkscreen & etching process use in PCB fab houses should smooth up the edges &
corners making the square version look much better on a real board. In fact, will
have slightly better definition than the round version unless you are using a really
low LPI setting.
