Re: [Kicad-developers] More OSX developer help
Now with latest version from bzr the grid is broken again on OSX. On EESchema it is visible if I zoom in very deep. When I fit the sheet on my screen then the grid is gone. With the 50mil setting (biggest grid). wxWidgets from svn revision 66868 Application: PCBnew Version: (2011-02-11 BZR 2808)-testing Build: wxWidgets 2.9.2 (UTF-8,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC 4.2.1,wx containers,compatible with 2.8) Platform: Mac OS X (Darwin 10.6.0 i386), 32 bit, Little endian, wxMac ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I think that the chamfering/rounding should be performed on m_Poly since that's the one used in the drc functions, right? marco ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

While thinking about this I ran into CPolyLine which includes the side_style property, which sounds like it could also be used for corner rounding. However, it seems that it's not currently used and that its implementation is broken (at least in MakeKboolPoly). So, what's the status and purpose of the side_style? Is it just some old code that's still just sitting there or are there plans to use it in the future? marco I think you are talking about using arcs in polygons outlines. This code comes from FreePCB. I used FreePCB code to start zone by polygons feature. Currently arcs are not handled in Pcbnew. But I did not removed the code relative to arcs, just in case we want to use it in the future (but I am not working on). Because this feature was never used, the corresponding code can be broken, of course. For info, Currently KBool and Boost::polygon are both used in Pcbnew. KBool was first used, but in rare cases KBool fails when generating filled zones areas. So when Boost::polygon was mature (i.e. with no bugs) I used it to generate filled zones areas. Until now I did not see bugs, and it is twice faster. Boost::polygon has lot of advantages, but cannot handle some calculations (for instance keep holes as separate polygons for complex zones outlines). I am thinking both KBool and Boost::polygon have functions to chamfer polygons outlines. But I am not sure. -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Kicad-developers] Zone corner chamfers/fillets and CPolyLine
Hi, I've been thinking about adding a zone option to chamfer/fillet zone corners.

[Kicad-developers] Sourceforge Wiki Broken
Dear all, When I try to load the sourceforge wiki/site then it only shows a white empty page. I think it is broken since the new update of sourceforge services. Maybe we need to update mediawiki :-), this is more secure and has better features.
