Kind of a device context, only it spits out plotfiles (subclassed for every plot driver, i.e. DXF_PLOTTER, HPGL_PLOTTER and so on); it has some 'specialized' primitives, for example: you tell it to draw a pad and the driver (depending on mode) draws outlines, flashes apertures and so on. If at least other two people ask for it there will be an SVG_PLOTTER too (it seems that the generic wx code is disappointing for people, they want more 'structured' drawings) > Yes, it's somehow needed because of the way Cmake implements swig module > generation.

No issue for that, I justed wanted to know it that was the 'correct' build behaviour. > I compile pcbnew doing "make pcbnew" to avoid the _pcbnew.so compilation > while I'm working, that saves 1/2 of my time and energy. Thanks for the tip, I'll do that way too -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
