29/* Note about internal units and max size for boards and items
30
31 The largest distance that we (and Kicad) can support is INT_MAX, since it represents
32 distance often in a wxCoord or wxSize. As a scalar, a distance is always
33 positive. Because int is 32 bits and INT_MAX is
34 2147483647. The most difficult distance for a virtual (world) cartesian
35 space is the hypotenuse, or diagonal measurement at a 45 degree angle. This
36 puts the most stress on the distance magnitude within the bounded virtual
37 space. So if we allow this distance to be our constraint of <= INT_MAX, this
38 constraint then propagates to the maximum distance in X and in Y that can be
39 supported on each axis. Remember that the hypotenuse of a 1x1 square is
40 sqrt( 1x1 + 1x1 ) = sqrt(2) = 1.41421356.
41
42 hypotenuse of any square = sqrt(2) * deltaX;
43
44 Let maximum supported hypotenuse be INT_MAX, then:
45
46 MAX_AXIS = INT_MAX / sqrt(2) = 2147483647 / 1.41421356 = 1518500251
47
48 The next choice is what to use for internal units (IU), sometimes called
49 world units. If nanometers, then the virtual space must be limited to
50 about 1.5 x 1.5 meters square. This is 1518500251 divided by 1e9 nm/meter.
51
52 The maximum zoom factor then depends on the client window size. If we ask
53 wx to handle something outside INT_MIN to INT_MAX, there are unreported
54 problems in the non-Debug build because wxRound() goes silent.
55
56 Pcbnew uses nanometers because we need to convert coordinates and size between
57 millimeters and inches. using a iu = 1 nm avoid rounding issues
58
59 Gerbview uses iu = 10 nm because we can have coordinates far from origin, and
60 1 nm is too small to avoid int overflow.
61 (Conversions between millimeters and inches are not critical)
