My last commit includes a new boost library: boost::polygon see: google "boost polygon", "http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/gtl/boost/polygon"; "http://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/gtl/doc"; I believe this is a *very* interesting library, and this is exactly what is needed for kicad. So I wrote "zones_convert_brd_items_to_polygons_with_Boost.cpp" to test it (It was a lot of work) I need volunteers to test zone filling algorithm using boost::polygon, verify if issues are found, and send me results of tests. Mainly errors when creating solid areas. FYI, I know 2 boards with errors using Kbool (but Kbool is still the best polygon library for Kicad). (calculation time, due to less redundancy due to code refactory is 50% the time needed with Kbool library) Note in fact 80% calculation time is thermal shape tweaking by removing unconnected stubs. (I am not sure it is very useful)
To compile with boost::polygon, run cmake with option -DUSE_BOOST_POLYGON_LIBRARY=ON (see changelog). -- Jean-Pierre CHARRAS _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
