The patch is based on splitting the application class into
two incarnations - one for GUI capability and one without.
GSI binding happens dynamically based on the mode chosen.
We can do so because the application class is the first one
to become active and can decide the mode by itself.
In general, the application class carries too much functionality
and splitting is a task for the future. Right now, the functionality
is inside the base class and the derived classes basically only
configure the base class.
A better design would be to drop the QApplication inheritance in
the RBA::Application class hierarchy and provide access to the
QApplication object through qapp_gui getter.
The fix consisted of introducing "factory" type virtual
methods which ensure that a reference is held to the
returned object. This is important for implementing
factory methods in Python. Without this, the object
get destroyed before we have a chance to increment the
reference count.
This commit adds "permissive" mode to OASIS writer to allow
odd-width paths (which are rounded).
This commit contains in addition:
* The check for odd-width paths is done post-scaling, so
reducing the DBU is a workaround
* Unit tests for the RBA binding of SaveLayoutOptions
* Documentation updates on some SaveLayoutOptions attributes
* Using Ruby predicate notation for cif_blank_separator?
(note question mark) for consistency. The old notation is
still there but deprecated
* --permissive option on buddies command lines where applicable
- Issue: on an entirely fresh installation the "Ruler"
entry was not visible. Now, a new standard template
called "Ruler" is present.
- Ruler templates with categories cannot be deleted
any more and are shown with italic font. If they
were deleted, they would show up again after restart.
strmrun allows running a Python or Ruby script
in the context of KLayout's API. A subset of the
API will be available - all classes connected with
the user interface are not available. Neither is
the DRC engine.
Reason: PCellDeclaration::parameter_declaration is volatile when
the PCell does not want parameter declaration caching. In this
case, begin .. end iterators must not be taken from different
calls to parameter_declaration for example.
In the setup dialog (Customize Menu page), there are check boxes
now by which menu entries and menus can be enabled or disabled.
CAUTION: don't disable the setup function :-)
Issue: macro definitions had to be synchronized for
custom key bindings. That's not possible for readonly
macros and breaks the architecture.
Now, there is a default binding and a custom binding:
the macros provide a default binding only and the custom
key binding can override this. This scheme is implemented
consistently, so now the "reset" function of the key
binding editor simply clears the custom binding.
Side effect: reset of individual key bindings is possible.
Another side effect: removing a key binding from an
item with a default one is not possible. Instead, redefine
it.
