Re: [PATCH] Change from EDA_COLOR_T to COLOR4D and arbitrary color support

 

Hi Jon,

I have just tested the patch, and I really like it. I just need to test
it a bit longer, as there are numerous changes, but I am in favor of
merging the patch.

I also applied one more patch changing a few defines (UNSPECIFIED,
BLACK, WHITE) to static consts, I hope you do not mind.

If there are other people interested in testing, I have rebased the
changes [1] on the current master. There are also a few minor code
formatting fixes.

Regards,
Orson
