# PcbDraw code

## Why?

- Important dependency: PcbDraw is currently a core functionality of KiBot because its used for the `pcb_print` output
- Increased number of dependencies: The upstream code pulls too much dependencies, some of them optional, others that we don't need.
  This is a constant problem.
- Incompatible interface and behavior: This should be fixed now that 1.0.0 is out, but I don't agree with the idea of doing small
  changes just because they look more elegant.
- Now integrable: This is one of the changes in 1.0.0, now the code is easier to call as module.
- Repeated functionality: The `render` stuff is already implemented by KiAuto.

## Details

Currently only the `plot` module is included.

### convert.py

- Made the `pcbdraw` import relative

### convert_common.py

No current changes

### convert_unix.py

- Made the `pcbdraw` import relative

### convert_windows.py

- Made the `pcbdraw` import relative

### unit.py

No current changes

### plot.py

- Made the `pcbdraw` import relative
- Disabled `shrink_svg`
  - Changes the old behavior, so this should be optional
  - Pulls a problematic dependency: svgpathtool
- Changed calls to `ComputeBoundingBox()` to use `aBoardEdgesOnly=True`
  - To get the same behavior as 0.9.0-5
  - This changes the size of the SVG to the size of the board
  - `shrink_svg` must be disabled or it reverts the size to the detected
- Added `no_warn_back` option to disable warnings on the opposite side

- Added option to plot only the solder mask. The PCB_Print output uses it and plotting all the stuff looks stupid.
  The patch added too much nested conditionals so I moved the information to data structures.
  The patch looks big, but is just a mechanism to skip the unneeded layers.
