Hi Cirilo, I object! :P I think I mainly agree with your points. In [1] you can find (a draft/ WIP ) of a UML model I design for the 3dparsers, in [2] there is a structure architecture that I design to handle VRML/X3D. That is a simplification of the specification and it have in mind to handle

Thanks Mario, I'll have a look at the documents you've written. This is a tricky one since I plan to make substantial changes to the code currently handling 3D models; I wouldn't want you to do too much work only to find that everything needs to be refactored. On the other hand I don't know how

Hi Cirilo, As I explained, in my point if view there is no point to do "substantial changes". From the analysis I did, I find lots of things that then are missing or desired so the proper way will be rewrite from rewrite from scratch a new proper solution. Otherwise it will be constructing a ca

Yeah, I know that much - I'm just trying to figure out where the LIB_TEXT bounding boxes are going /wrong/. Try it - turn on the switch to view the bounding boxes (sch_component.cpp line 382, recommend changing GetBoundingBox on 385 to GetBodyBoundingBox, it's a bit more helpful in this case) a

I'm looking into it, anyway, just wanted to know if anyone knew much about it. There's always the possibility that I misunderstood something, since I'm working in a section I haven't been in before, so I'd rather dive into it myself than waste your time. I'll submit a patch if there really is a

For the curious, have a look at this bizarre screenshot: http://misc.c4757p.com/bbox_wtf.png I turned on drawing of bounding boxes for both component bodies and LIB_TEXTs - the text's bounding box renders correctly, but it merges with the rest of the component drawing item boxes wrong, growing

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Fix LIB_TEXT and LIB_FIELD bounding boxes

2015-06-17 Thread Chris Pavlina
You probably saw my thread about the bounding boxes for LIB_TEXT and LIB_FIELD, which were being merged with the main component bounding box incorrectly. I tracked down what the bug was: in ::GetBoundingBox(), the coordinates are inverted because "Y coordinates for LIB_ITEMs are bottom to top".
