Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Maciej Sumiński]

Apparently wxLogInfo() has changed its behavior and instead of writing
to console, now it shows a window. I have just removed the related code,
because if the required version is not supported, the user will get an
appropriate error message anyway (revision 6771).

Orson

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Chris Pavlina]

I like that the distinction between bright and dark lines was kept into the
dots. The extra coarser grid on top of the fine grid is very useful :)

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Bernhard Stegmaier]

You are right. 
I didn’t expect the dots to be different, but every 10th dot is the bigger one.

BTW:
I do seem to get a popup “OpenGL 2.1 supported” on every start recently.
Is that on intention and what should it tell me (apart from the fact that 
OpenGL 2.1 is supported… :) )?
It is quite annoying… could this information maybe be moved to the About dialog?

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Simon Wells]

bernhard, are the ones that are the easily visible ones the darker
grid lines (ever 5 or so) that are more intense in the line mode

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Bernhard Stegmaier]

Maybe some anti-aliasing issue?
For me, dots are also quite small and some of them are barely visible, while 
others look quite normal.

When I played around with the grid dots on OS X in legacy canvas I also had a 
hard time to find a configuration where dots are visible both on (HiDPI) retina 
and normal displays (on OS X also legacy canvas is anti-aliased).

Thanks, Bernhard.

@Orson,
On wxWidgets 3.1, the dotted grid is not visible on Opengl. The line grid is 
visible.
On Cairo, both are displayed.

 A lot of work! Thanks to Tomasz and you.

 After a fast and short test, the change looks good.

 However, I noticed 2 issues (W7 32 bits on msys2):
 - The grid is not visible on OpenGL, but is visible on Cairo.
 - I can switch between legacy and Cairo, as long I not switched to OpenGL, 
 but if I switch to Cairo
 from OpenGL, or from legacy after having previously switched to Opengl, 
 Pcbnew crashes.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Bernhard Stegmaier]

In the Dimensions => Grid menu you can switch between dots/lines (also took me 
some while, I would have expected it in some preferences dialog).
I don’t think that it is a (common) wxWidgets 3.1 issue.
My OS X build uses a wxWidgets master maybe two weeks old and grid is fine both 
with dots and lines.

Bernhard

How to change the mode ?

Nevertheless, the dot grid is not displayed when using wxWidgets 3.1, and it is 
displayed when using
wxWidgets 3.0.2.
I never see issues previously with lines.


> Would you send me a backtrace? I cannot make it crash on W7_64/msys2.

Unfortunately, the bt is small:
When switching from OpenGL to cairo:
#0  0x77293c4d in ntdll!DbgBreakPoint () from C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
#1  0x772febef in ntdll!DbgUiRemoteBreakin ()
   from C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll

#5  0x772c361b in ntdll!RtlInitializeExceptionChain ()
   from C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll
#6  0x in ?? ()

And when existing in legacy mode (after using Opengl mode):
#0  0x5628ae51 in ?? () from C:\Windows\system32\ig4icd32.dll
Backtrace stopped: Cannot access memory at address 0x3


More strange, when starting pcbnew (Debug build) in legacy mode and switching 
to Cairo more:
- crash if running under gdb (giving the same backtrace as when switching from 
OpenGL to cairo,
therefore this bt is perhaps due only to switching to cairo on gdb).
- does no crash when running without gdb.

Remember, I'm about to rearrange all the options anyway, so it's probably not
much of a concern where it goes for now. Feel free to begin the preferences
organization bikeshedding on the thread I already started for that, though :D

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Is grid invisible in both modes (lines & dots)?
Would you send me a backtrace? I cannot make it crash on W7_64/msys2.

Purposedly I have not left any clues to see if I had picked the right
place for the setting. Apparently it is not as intuitive as I initially
thought, so do you know another place that fits beter?

I am not sure if it is a good idea. I believe there are two camps:
dot-gridders and line-gridders and they never switch sides, so everyone
would have to go through an unnecessary clicks to skip an unwanted grid
mode while toggling grid display.

It would also introduce another inconsistency with the legacy canvas,
and I would rather avoid it at the moment.

Orson

Re: [Kicad-developers] Bitmap fonts (+ dotted grid)

[Maciej Sumiński]

Hi Bernhard,

Good catch, it should be fixed now (revision 6766).

Regards,
Orson

A lot of work! Thanks to Tomasz and you.

After a fast and short test, the change looks good.

However, I noticed 2 issues (W7 32 bits on msys2):
- The grid is not visible on OpenGL, but is visible on Cairo.
- I can switch between legacy and Cairo, as long I not switched to OpenGL, but 
if I switch to Cairo
from OpenGL, or from legacy after having previously switched to Opengl, Pcbnew 
crashes.

[Maciej Sumiński]

As noone had opposed the changes, I have just merged the bitmap fonts
branch.

As a small bonus, we have also added an option to switch to dotted grid
in GAL (thanks to Tom for refactoring the grid drawing routine).

Orson
