Well, I used trigonometric look up tables to speed up calculations when I started Kicad. Some features (like file formats) come from to constraints due to low speed of computers or networks. Obviously, these constraints are now very different. Today, we can consider a more understandable and maintainable code it the first constraint. Mainly because: - Kicad code is growing more and more. - Computers and networks and more and more faster. - Our brain does not grow (unfortunately).
The main reason there is a mixed use of sin(), cos() and lockup table in code is the complexity of Kicad code. There is a lot of duplicated code due to this reason. So, code simplification is the most important criteria when changing the Kicad code. -- 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
