A via fence generator plugin for pcbnew

[jsreynaud]

Yes my approach is really basic. It was just a frame work to implement a better algo…

Now, how about the wx Interface First things first: I am an algorithm guy, no GUI guy. But I would really like a nice small GUI where you can set some settings or values for the algorithm. How would you do that actually? Do you just use the python wx bindings and spin up your own GUI (with its own message loop?) or are there any fixtures in the pcbnew API to make GUI windows?

Take a look at my example for via stitching:

kicad-action-scripts/ViaStitching at master · jsreynaud/kicad-action-scripts

I split it in 3 files:

• FillArea.py: the algo class…
• FillAreaDialog.py: it’s the interface (dialog based). Generated from FillAreaTpl.fbp (by using wxformbuilder)
• FillAreaAction.py: Use Dialog and the algo class. It’s the entry point of the KiCad plugin…
