One of our friends continues work on the SVG importer and would like to add a possibility of importing graphics as filled polygons. I see there are two ways of handling polygons: - DRAWSEGMENTs of S_POLYGON type - ZONE_CONTAINER placed on non-copper layers We need to pick one. In order to have the

[Kicad-developers] EDGE_MODULE and DRAWSEGMENT refactor

2016-11-17 Thread Maciej Sumiński
