Detailed Description

Base plotter engine class.

General rule: all the interface with the caller is done in IU, the IU size is specified with SetViewport. Internal and output processing is usually done in decimils (or whatever unit the effective engine class need to use)

◆ OpenFile()

bool PLOTTER::OpenFile ( const wxString & aFullFilename )

virtual

Open or create the plot file aFullFilename.

Parameters

aFullFilename is the full file name of the file to create.

Returns: true if success, false if the file cannot be created/opened.

pure virtual

Moveto/lineto primitive, moves the 'pen' to the specified direction.

Parameters

pos	is the target position.
plume	specifies the kind of motion: 'U' only moves the pen, 'D' draw a line from the current position and 'Z' finish the drawing and returns the 'pen' to rest (flushes the trace).

	)

protectedvirtual

Generic fallback: arc rendered as a polyline.

Note also aCentre and aRadius are double to avoid creating rounding issues due to the fact a arc is defined in Kicad by a start point, a end point and third point not angles and radius. In some plotters (i.e. dxf) whe need a good precision when calculating an arc without error introduced by rounding, to avoid moving the end points, usually important in outlines when plotting an arc given by center, radius and angles. Winding direction: counter-clockwise in right-down coordinate system.
