Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
Add direct handling of quadratic beziers to save compute time and number
of points. Update cubic interpolation to reduce number of points
generated for a given smoothness
Cache data on open and used cached data to avoid multiple re-calcs
Remove minimum line length and number of segments and replace with
standard max error level. Allows us to specify the tolerance of bezier
interpolation
Added Distance(VECTOR2) function that returns a double. Removed
superfluous EuclideanNorm, GetLineLength, integer constructor for
EDA_ANGLE (this promotes to double in the CTOR), DistanceLinePoint and
HitTestPoints
Also extended the size for arc calculations that get distances to center
points to avoid overflow
- in DXF coordinates were using 6 digits for coordinate mantissa: this is not
enough for coord in inches. Now use 16 digits
- Arc( VECTOR2I& aCentre, EDA_ANGLE& aStartAngle, EDA_ANGLE& aEndAngle, ...)
was using integers for coord. This creates significant errors for start point
and end points of the arc. Now the center is given in double, and its position
is calculated from angle end points (and radius) to do not generate a position error
for these end points (previously the error could be 20 ... 50 nm)

Old PLOTTER::Text is not (yet) removed, but it use negative text size
to mirrored text, which is not really compatible with some plotters (especially PDF).
Using TEXT_ATTRIBUTES is much easy and much better,
so PLOTTER::PlotText() is added.
Note: "old" PLOTTER::Text() is not removed yet.
Using arc angles to plot an arc is really error prone due to different
options between plotters, and angles defined in Kicad, using this version of
arc plotting from Kicad is no longer allowed in Kicad code.
Arcs are really error prone, due to different Y axis orientation, and geometry transforms.
Probably we should remove plot and print functions using arc angles as parameters
that are a can of worms.
Fixes#12465https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/12465
Also moves most navigation code to SCH_NAVIGATION_TOOL.
Also changes page number href to anchor syntax ('#foo').
Also adds hypertext processing to SCH_TEXTBOXes.
Also adds combobox with schematic pages to text properties dialog.
The start/end point plotting is not reliable for eeschema. We need to
preconvert to angles to get the correct winding as the default plotter
conversion in the PLOTTER class makes pcbnew-based assumptions
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11885
Depending on plotter type and pad type, the plotted shapes were not always the outlines,
but a outline inside the pad shape (due to legacy reasons).
In many cases the plotted shape was in fact incorrect.
(only noticeable for very small pads)
Now the actual pad outlines are plotted without modification.
Fixes#11484https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11484
Previously, coordinates were clamped to +- 60 inches. It makes no sense to
clamp them at plotter level: max cooed depends on the editor (schematic/board...)
Rename MAX_PAGE_SIZE_MILS to MAX_PAGE_SIZE_EESCHEMA_MILS and use it only for Eeschema.
Fixes#11196https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11196
It avoid trying to calculate arc angles (start, end or arc angle) that
frequently create issues due to reverse Y axis, plot mirrored and/or
angle normalization with different criteria.
Fixes#10914https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10914
Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5017
Putting 1,000s of tiny triangles on a gerber file will cause mfg fits.
Instead, we use easy outline plotting for plots and triangulation for
everything else.
Also fixes a bug where outline fonts weren't being handled for footprint
text in 3D Viewer, and a copy/paste error in stroke font handling for
both PCB and footprint text in 3D Viewer.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10319
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
Changes a dot to be a square pixel (linewidth x linewidth). This allows
the removal of IU dependencies and ensures that a dot is always visible
on screen. Also makes sure that cairo is setting the current linewidth
during its stroke routines
