Hi, We've pushed a branch [1] to Launchpad, which removes remaining Boost::polygon-based code from Kicad. The patch affects several features of pcbnew - we need your help to test it as extensively as possible: - zone filling calculations (both with segments and as solid polygons) - dead copper removal in zones (also touches ratsnest, in both views) - 3D viewer - DXF board outline export - plotting zones, solder mask layers and board outline - VRML export. The only program that still uses BPL is bitmap2component.
Going into technical details, the patch extends SHAPE_POLY_SET with remaining features of CPOLYGONS_LIST (+ point inside polygon check) and replaces all CPOLYGONS_LIST instances except the m_CornersList member of CPolyLine class. We didn't touch the CPolyLine class yet, although the next item on the list would be porting CPolyLine::Chamfer/Fillet/Hatch methods to SHAPE_POLY_SET and come up with a single, universal polygon set class. We've also removed a number of lines of code that became obsolete - for instance the functions for converting between boost::polygon, Clipper and CPOLYGONS_LIST or implicit polygon slitting done with Boost (now a single call of SHAPE_POLY_SET::Fracture), so in the end Kicad lost a bit of weight ;) Many thanks to Orson for testing & helping myself with Bazaar.
