Now the options are just an attribute of the outputs.
It means we have a set of classes for the options.
All the output content is parsed by the classes, including the Layers.
Now the layers support a simple string (with interesting shortcuts), a list of
strings or the original list of dicts.
Now the legacy drill.map.type and drill.report.filename are specified in this
way.
The BaseOutput class now inherits from Optionable.
Suboptions are just Optionable classes.
Also: added traceback print when an error is reported and we are in debug mode.
The old mechanism is supported, but removed from examples.
Added a test case for the new mechanism.
Documented the reason for the complex properties.
Added docstrings to these particular cases (with None as default).
- Included properties
- The final dot is placed by the printing code (removed from messages)
- docstrings line lengths limited
- Better HPGL help
- Fixed ibom default output (.html.html)
- pdf_pcb_print to use PCB name when not output name
- Default PS scaling factor to 1 (not 2)
Pro:
- Much easier to add new outputs and pre-flights
- All options are optional
- Much better configuration syntax check
- Access to data is simpler
Cons:
- Much more source code files
- I focused on one application, not multiple instances running on the same
process.
