Chamfering and rounding tracks is another issue (doing that
automatically (if the user wants it) or adding a chamfering/rounding
tool is not a bad idea). Anyways, I was talking about zones. The
attachment shows what I had in mind. The user-drawn polygon (m_Poly)
remains unaffected and can be edited as before. It should be trivial
to also allow individual settings to each vertex. Since the zone steps
outside the polygon at inside corners the drc functions must use the
chamfered/rounded polygon in the calculations.
