part symbol rendering

screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/c26ZRNn.png the thing in the center purple MOSFET is a pdf schematic page. |

Won't be able to include poppler code due to licence incompatibility (MIT vs GPLv2/3) |
|
it can be made a compile time option. a program into which GPL code has been added and from which it has been removed is no longer obliged to be licensed under the GPL. |
pdf is automatically opened when a part is select clicked thumbnail to give feedback for the brief delay when the png is decompressed pdf window can be sticked to the screen or the board hover and left mouse select click is automatically cross referenced scaling and panning of the pdf window
double click to toggle between schematic sticky and floating
only setting variables that are referenced and reusing all variables in-place. 1500% faster :-)
keybindings for pdf window fullscreen mode and docking mode (right half of screen) for pdf window keybindings: s - toggle sticky f - toggle fullscreen d - toggle dock q - close schematic
improements mainly to the schematic window. it is still distorted according to the aspect ratio of the underlying window, but everything else apparently works as it should. highlighting, hovering, panning, zooming, position reporting, resolution switching etc.
that turned out easier than expected
allow to pass variables to a new thread. allow detachable threads and try_join make pdf rendering thread-safe
* all to draw nets on the board to make connectivity clear at a glance designed to be a hint and not intended to ever draw all nets * different resistor value ranges can use different resistor symbols to make it more obvious at a glance what the resistor does * allow moving and resizing without having to use the keyboard to hold down shift. the top of the schem window is sensitive to being grabbed for a move, the corners are sensitive to be grabbed for resizing
* allow horizontal or vertical split of the main window to draw both sides of the board * split startup rcl file into sections to allow for faster thread creation

Shouldn't this say "Comment-out this line" rather than "Uncomment"?

I see you later committed a change commenting out this line. If this is how we're notifying users this error prompt should be un-commented when merged.
That said, ideally it'd be better if there was a prompt created by the CMAKE buildscript - something like "type yes to confirm you understand". Ideally the build script would also bundle a copy of the GPL into the build.

i just leave poppler enabled while i am working on the code. since a merge into openboardview is not in the immediate future, i don't care about it at the moment.
don't care about the cmake option. anyone able to build openboardview from source should have no problem following simple instructions. even more true about anyone planning to do a closed source derivative work.

yes. comment it out. for sure. sorry bout that.
Hi there.
i worked a couple of weeks on openboardview and am now looking for a way to publish.
included changes:
TCL embedded scripting inspired by xilinx vivado
pdf cross referencing
heuristic discovery of circuit and board layout / functional groups (using TCL)
drawing resistors as zig-zags and capacitors as plates on the board (very pretty)
