Hi all, I want to bump this thread and ask developers who use GerbView a lot to take a look at my branch again. Most things are working now, so I'm almost ready to submit it as patches so that more people can play with it and/or work on it.
Things that definitely don't work yet: - Negative images (in either canvas) - Negative items aren't transparent in Cairo canvas - I may need to implement some kind of image compositing mode in Cairo to fix this. - OpenGL caching has to be disabled otherwise settings changes take a long time to update; not sure why yet. - Selected items disappear unless you are zoomed out (see my other thread asking about this issue) g...@github.com:craftyjon/kicad.git branch gerbview_gal Please let me know if you find bugs, files that don't look like they should, or have suggestions!
