[Scidvspc-users] Patch: Analboard MovesVisualisation: Longer visualisation, SeqNum only for last few

[C H. M. <han...@gm...>]

Hi Steve,

To help view deeper/longer into the PV from the analysis engine, allow
the spinbox of visualisation depth to be increased upto 64 from
initial limit which I had previously set at 8.

At the same time to avoid cluttering the board with seq numbers, now
move seq numbers will be shown only for the last few moves relative to
the specified visualisation depth.

NOTE1: Purposefully calculating the window of seq numbers to show
relative to user set visualisation depth and not the number of moves
in the pv, so that if reqd user can indirectly avoid any and all seq
numbers from being shown on the board, by setting the vis depth to be
much larger than the current engine pv depth. So that board shows only
the move visualisation lines/arrows and not any seq numbers.

Users can control the window/amount of seq numbers to show, through options.dat.

Also I have reduced the font size by 20% so that it doesnt occupy too
much of the square spaces. Also I have uncommented the text
shadow/highlight plotting and made the gradient logic create a very
light shade rather than a darker shade.

NOTE2: This patch is generated relative to the two patches which I
submitted on the mailing list yesterday.
