Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL

Hi Michael, I think this lag on exit is due to the time the VIEW takes to deconstruct itself when it has a lot of objects. I can look at some routes for optimizing this (it affects pcbnew as well). Thank you for testing, Jon On Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 7:23 PM, Michael Geselbracht <

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL

Hi, the drills are rendered correctly now, thank you. If i recall correctly this (the GAL Gerbview) is another milestone towards v5. A (very) minor issue remains though: Exiting Gerbview takes a few seconds if several layers are loaded. The time seems to related to the complexity of the layers. A

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL

Hi Michael, The first issue you raised with the layer manager context menu has now been fixed I think; please check it if you have a chance. Could you send me a drill file (maybe off the list) that does not render for you? I checked a few of my drill files and they do render. Thanks, Jon On

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL

HI Michael, Thanks for the report, I will look in to this -- I suspect I broke the drill display in a recent commit. But, your attachment did not come through for me, it just shows an empty zip file for me. Thanks, Jon On Mon, Sep 11, 2017 at 5:07 PM, Michael Geselbracht <

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL

Thanks JP. For #2, it is a matter of the difference between OpenGL and Cairo implementation of transparency and occlusion in our GAL. Cairo also has the issue that each draw item is composited with transparency, even on a single layer. (maybe that is what is wanted with transparent items

[Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL

Hi all, I've finally had time in the last few weeks to make more progress on GerbView GAL. While it's not perfect, I think it is far enough along to propose merging into the main repo, so that more people can start testing it and hopefully we can fix any bugs and perhaps get more people working

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: Ready for alpha testing; need more sample Gerber files

Hi Kevin, thanks for your valuable feedback. Are you using opengl or Cairo canvas, or have you tried both? By default for now, transparency is turned off in GAL. I will switch it to default to on, but you can hit the button on the left toolbar. I will fix the default grid preference to be dots.

Hi all, I want to bump this thread and ask developers who use GerbView a lot to take a look at my branch again. Most things are working now, so I'm almost ready to submit it as patches so that more people can play with it and/or work on it. Things that definitely don't work yet: - Negative

In aperture-circle-flash-with_hole.gbr, one of the holes should be square. They are all drawn as circular in 4.x as well as in master, but now correctly drawn with square hole in my branch. In apertures_rotated_and_arcs_in_tracks.gbr, some weird artifacts show up in 4.x in Linux, but I can't

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: Ready for alpha testing; need more sample Gerber files

Nice. The D-codes do indeed look funky. I note that the grid is drawn with lines, not with dots and it is in legacy. (In pcbnew we can choose either) Your branch seems to be much slower than 4.0.5, when zooming i and out and having the dcodes enabled. 2017-03-04 20:35 GMT+01:00 Jon Evans

[Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL: issue with draw order and negative items

Hi all, I've run into a problem while porting GerbView to GAL that doesn't have an obvious best solution to me, so I thought I would ask those with more knowledge of the GAL for ideas. Gerber files rely on a fixed draw order. This becomes important when some draw objects in the file are

Re: [Kicad-developers] GerbView GAL port

This doesn't answer any of your questions, but Mark Roszko did some refactoring of gerbview that had some really nice changes. I believe he started the refactoring with the intention of switching gerbview over to GAL. https://github.com/marekr/kicad-devel Jon Neal On Tue, Feb 14, 2017 at 1:38
