Re: GAL canvas strategy - testers needed!

 

Ok i looked at the pot symbols. They are indeed strange. (ignore my last message)

However, how does the new fill algorithm work with things like the logic gates. (Example the symbol for 74LS00) It has an open polygon on purpose as it consists of that polygon plus an arc. We still want the body do be filled but do not want a visible line between the arc and the polygon body.

I pushed John’s 3 patches along with one of my own which fixes the POT rendering.

(It is actually an error in the library item, but it’s not alone -- at least optocoupler IL300 has the same issue.)

Cheers,
Jeff.

Hi,

The rendering of unclosed polyline in symbols is different in GAL.

See the attached (standard libs potentiometer symbol) - in the legacy
canvas, the arrow doesn't have a missing lower side.

Is this a bug in GAL, or is it actually intended and the symbol is
wrong (but happened to work before by accident)?

Cheers,

John

There’s a setting for that (Always show crosshairs).  You probably have it on in Pcbnew/Display Options but not in Eeschema/Display Options.

I don't know if this is intentional or not but I noticed (at least on
windows) that the cursor is no longer displayed when the select tool is
active.  This is different than the old canvas where the cursor always
tracked the mouse point for all tools.

I pushed fixes for sheet pins and the cursor.  (It also removes a bunch of legacy grid and cursor colour stuff that is no longer needed.)

Cheers,

I don't think I mailed the list, but also found another issue.

I noticed the sheet text is the same color as "notes", and not "sheet
label".

The cursor cross-hair is always black.

Otherwise it works fine for me on a quick test.

regards,

Mark.
