Simon, This makes sense to me. I spent some time a while back looking at the Doxygen output and came to the same conclusion. I have a few Doxygen comments of my own that follow this formatting so you are not alone. I will update the coding policy when I get a chance. All developers, please con

Simon, That seems eminently sensible, and matches the policy active in other large projects I'm involved with that use doxygen. I would only emphasise that the first line is of limited length: no 200+ character brief descriptions! In general I would encourage the policy to have both positive

[Kicad-developers] Doxygen comment style

2017-06-15 Thread Simon Richter
Hi, the current coding standard says that function comments should look like /** * Function foo * * blablabla */ Since doxygen uses the first line as the brief description, the class overview ends up looking like this: | foo | Function foo | | bar | Function bar | That is not really helpfu

Hi Fabrizio, I am also in favor of the proposed change. This is a better description for the action and it is consistent with pcbnew duplicate operation. Regards, Orson On 06/15/2017 10:17 AM, Fabrizio Tappero wrote: > hello, > inside the schematic editor, this is the right click menu when a gro

Small followup. 1. It might be worthwile to also include informations on how to expose something you might have implemented in the KiCad C/C++ code via SWIG to python. But I don't know about this stuff, this might have to do someone else. 2. I think this document should also incorporate some conve

hello, inside the schematic editor, this is the right click menu when a group of component is selected [image: Inline image 1] I would like to propose to rename the "Copy Block" into "Duplicate Block" and add to it the shortcut D. Possible? does it make sense? the shortcut D seems available but be
