Re: [Pcb2gcode-devel] outline filling

[chrysn <ch...@fs...>]

hi list, hello patrick,

there's a new feature (or regression fix) in my patched branch at [1].

it contains:

* use of infinity constants instead of large values (328e45a9),
  accompanied by kicking out a leftover reference to Fixed.h which is
  unused (re-enabling it might require an alternative solution to the
  infinity constant thing, but i doubt that would be the only problem;
  2a47492968)

* man page fixes (559313, 30eb1bd79)

* a series of patches culminating in 1182d633 that adds back support for
  contour outlines instead of polygon outlines. i needed some safety
  measures in Surface::fill_a_component (using it with a component that
  touches the border caused segfaults; f214d7cd), from then it was just
  a matter of filling the outside of the contour, growing it a bit to
  compensate for line thickness, and changing the colors back to get the
  proper layer contents (that is, the shape of the part to be produced).

i've done some testing on my own, but would very much appreciate if
someone else have that a try (especially, i did not yet produce real
boards with it).

regards
chrysn
