significant amounts of time even though there is no display to
receive the result. However, the "suspendall" command only works
if a window exists. The obvious solution is to set GrDisplayStatus
to DISPLAY_SUSPEND whenever magic is run with the "-dnull" option.
This should help speed up a lot of scripts, in particular where
designs are large.
hierarchical processing from CIFGenSubcells() and CIFGenArrays(), and to
avoid certain operators that are useless and harmful when applied
hierarchically; namely squares, slots, bbox, boundary, and net.
templayers. This permits some useful interactions like growing to
the size of a bounding box, or abutment box, as well as many other
possibilities. Also: Corrected the use of "cif see" for the boundary
(abutment box) layer, which was not working because the "cif see"
command uses a flattened CellDef that does not have the boundary
property of the cell it was flattened from.
of generating scalable output. Some libcairo update had caused
the output to use the wrong version of SVG by default, which
generates an SVG-wrapped PNG data block, which is not scalable,
and not what was intended with the "plot svg" command.
Currently the SVG output is a SVG file with an embedded `image/png`
file. Restricting to `CAIRO_SVG_VERSION_1_2` means the file goes back to
being a vector.

distributed installations, where the immediate installation location
is different from the final installation location, but in the case
where it is not desirable to put the entire install hierarchy as a
subdirectory of DESTDIR.
only at the time of running the command "load". But cells are generally
loaded only on an as-needed basis, so the dereferencing option must be
saved as a flag in the cell and honored whenever its subcells are expanded
or otherwise read at a later time.
rid of redundant port entries in subcircuits. There is still an outstanding
issue as to whether nodes and connections need to be recursively iterated
to the hierarchy bottom. The current fix corrected the test case. Also,
added a "-dereference" option to the "load" command to revert to the
original behavior of using only search paths from "addpath" when searching
for files to load.
Cairo graphics package (magic -d XR), will map the display onto
an SVG surface and save it to a file using the Cairo SVG backend.
Due to the simplicity of the mapping, there are no options to this
plot command; it just creates a file that is a (scalable!)
replica of the layout window.
window to change after hiding a layer using the toolbar and then
refreshing the layout. Fixed by saving and restoring the graphics
state around the routine that configures the toolbar image. Also
added a check to CifPaintCurrent to guard against using an unassigned
ClientData record as a pointer (causes a crash), and added braces
around "expr" values in the Tcl wrapper, which reportedly results in
faster execution of the expression.
"--enable-cairo-offscreen" from working. Because the option
does not run the full Cario initialization, the grTCairoVisualInfo
is not set, and the first attempt to create a Cairo surface
fails with a segfault.
frame buffers and render buffers, and use fast frame buffer bit
block transfers to do copies to and from backing store. Also found
a long-standing problem where multiple windows fail to refresh
properly in OpenGL and Cairo interfaces due to a lack of calling
GrLock() and GrUnlock() around the call to fetch backing store
after an expose event. The use of the general purpose frame
buffer allows magic to avoid calling any indirect rendering methods
and should now (finally) allow magic to run in OpenGL mode over a
VNC. Use of direct rendering methods only also means that magic
does not need to be compiled with the ad hoc switch to have Cairo
handle drawing into pixmaps for the icons (this remains to be
tested).
Cairo works perfectly for the off-screen rendering and that OpenGL
works perfectly for the on-screen rendering, make a compile-time
option to use both in their respective areas of perfection.
by using a Pbuffer instead of a GLXPixmap, which is too often not
supported for direct rendering. The only way I found to make this
work was to do a (very) slow pixel-by-pixel copy from the Pbuffer
into the pixmap. However, this only needs to be done once for each
toolbar icon, and the icons are small, so it is not really a problem.
a half-pixel offset that centers coordinates on pixels, so single-
pixel objects like cell boundaries or the crosshair will be drawn
a single pixel in width.
and incorrect call to cairo_set_source_rgba which is in an unused
function and has no effect except with versions of Tcl less than 8.6
where "load -lazy" is not available and unknown functions cause
immediate exit. Cleaned up remaining references to OpenGL in the
Cairo code, and updated the copyright and acknowledged Chuan Chen, who
coded the Cairo interface. No attempt yet to deal with memory leaks
caused by calling Cairo "create" functions without the accompanying
"destroy" functions.
