Detailed Description

A class to simplify many aspects of footprint creation, leaving only the footprint specific routines to the wizards themselves.

Inherit this class to make a new wizard.

Provides simplified access to helpers like drawing functions, a transform matrix stack and simple parameter checking.

Generally, you need to implement: GetValue() GenerateParameterList() CheckParameters() BuildThisFootprint() GetName() GetDescription()

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ __init__()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.__init__ (   self)

Reimplemented from pcbnew.FootprintWizardPlugin.

Definition at line 57 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

Member Function Documentation

◆ BuildFootprint()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.BuildFootprint (   self)

Actually make the footprint.

We defer all but the set-up to the implementing class

Reimplemented from pcbnew.FootprintWizardPlugin.

Definition at line 101 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ BuildThisFootprint()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.BuildThisFootprint (   self)

Draw the footprint.

This is specific to each footprint class, you need to implement this to draw what you want

Definition at line 91 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

◆ CheckParameters()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.CheckParameters (   self)

Any custom parameter checking should be performed here.

Definition at line 85 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

◆ GenerateParameterList()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.GenerateParameterList (   self)

Footprint parameter specification is done here.

Definition at line 79 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetDescription()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.GetDescription (   self)

Return the footprint wizard description.

Reimplemented from pcbnew.FootprintWizardPlugin.

Definition at line 67 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetName()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.GetName (   self)

Return the name of the footprint wizard.

Reimplemented from pcbnew.FootprintWizardPlugin.

Definition at line 61 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

◆ GetTextSize()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.GetTextSize (   self)

Get the default text size for the footprint.

Override to change it.

Defaults to IPC nominal of 1.0mm

Definition at line 164 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

◆ GetTextThickness()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.GetTextThickness (   self)

Thicker than IPC guidelines (10% of text height = 0.12mm) as 5 wires/mm is a common silk screen limitation.

Definition at line 172 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

◆ GetValue()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.GetValue (   self)

Return the value (name) of the generated footprint.

Reimplemented from pcbnew.FootprintWizardPlugin.

Definition at line 73 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.

◆ SetModule3DModel()

def plugins.FootprintWizardBase.FootprintWizard.SetModule3DModel (   self)

If your plug-in sets a 3D model, override this function.

Definition at line 158 of file FootprintWizardBase.py.
