2016-04-15 Thread Cirilo Bernardo
The attached patch makes the following changes: 1. Paths defined via pcbnew->Preferences->Configure Paths are now included in the 3D file browser's drop-down list except for KICAD_PTEMPLATES, KIGITHUB, KISYSMOD, any paths resembling a URL, and any non-existent paths. When an absolute path is short

Hi Orson,   thanks for your nice work. I remember that we have discussed about this subject a few years ago - in general I think it's an advantage to have an alternative for the stroke font. Not for performance, but for the visual quality.   I'd call it rather "outline font" instead of bitmap

It is certainly due to the fact pcbnewPYTHON_wrap.cxx is a old file, not updated (frequent issue). When you have an issue with pcbnewPYTHON_wrap.cxx, delete it and rebuild kicad. pcbnewPYTHON_wrap.cxx is not always rebuilt when a .h is modified. Usually, the issue is fixed just by deleting it to

Here is the result of my test (attached) Question: Is the text rendered every draw frame? If yes: My suggestion was to clamp to a max size (in order to render the text 1:1 on relation to the font pixel size in the texture) and to a minimum (or not display it.. ) See the too_big.png issue. I thi

Demoscene is dead, long live Demoscene! It looks a very good (but complex) solution. I think for the propose of Orson, he has a well defined / controlled use of the size of the displayed fonts, his simpler solution should work. I didnt tested it yet :/ any more screenshots? Mario __

Easyw, remember that in a full MSYS2 installation you sort of that three environments, msys, mingw32 and mingw64. The swig you used was the one from the "barebones" msys environment, while you need the one for mingw. Den 15/04/2016 08.56 skrev "jp charras" : > Le 14/04/2016 23:07, easyw a écrit :
