Subject: [geda-user] [pcb-rnd] Using the new PolyHatch plugin to crosshatch polygons in layouts
To: geda-user <geda-user AT delorie DOT com>

Reply-To: geda-user AT delorie DOT com

During development of the Protel Autotrax/Easytrax import/export
plugin, a method for exporting complex polygons to the Protel
Autotrax/Easytrax format was needed, given its limited support for
polygons other than solid rectangular fills.

A PolyHatch() function was implemented in a separate plugin, which can
now be used to convert any selected polygon on a layout with user
defined cross hatching spacing, the option of vertical and/or
horizontal cross hatching, and the option of clearance.

This plugin is now included in svn head by default, and will be in the
next release of pcb-rnd.

It can be invoked with :PolyHatch(interactive) after selecting a
polygon or polygons.
