Gerbsters: We plan to use libgerbv to read some 1970s format Gerber files, write them in a 2000s format - SVG - and then display this. I would like to allow users to see the name of each component when they hover a mouse pointer over its rectangle, in the SVG.
This would seem to require libgerbv outputting commentary, embedded in each SVG path command, describing that path's source in Gerber-land. Then my viewer could trivially convent that commentary into tooltips. When I convert some sample files to SVG, it is bare-bones, not annotated. Is such a feature latent in the source? Should I add it? Or can I get to the "part name" data indirectly, through the GerbvProject object? Feel free to direct me to a better mailing list, if this one is only for the [gerbv-Bugs] system... -- Phlip http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ZeekLand ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
