Torsten,

I apologize for the incorrect information but I just realized this solutionis not going to work. Replacing wxDC in the Kicad drawing code will breakprinting and postscript output. Your GAL object will have to be based on wxDC (similar to how wxGCDC is designed) or you will have to write separatedrawing code for screen output and use the current drawing code for printing and postscript output.
