Hi guys, The code (albeit reworked a bit) which brought you these screen-shots:
http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/screenshots/gschem_ruled_grid.png http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/screenshots/gschem_alpha2.png Has now hit hit HEAD! Whilst my original patch just swapped out the dotted grid, the one committed refactors it to be switchable, then adds the mesh grid as a new grid implementation. I'd love to hear some feedback on this. I ported the mesh grid code _away from_ cairo, to GDK, since cairo was notably slower when zoomed out to the point where every other column / row of pixels had a minor grid line drawn on it. "og" or "Toggle grid on/off" is now a cycling action between the two grid modes, and "off". I've specifically changed to the new grid by default when gschem loads. This is to give it some testing exposure as much as anything, and would be easily changed back during 1.5.x if that deemed to be desirable. The grid uses the new colour map code, with entries "(mesh-grid-major ...)" and "(mesh-grid-minor ...)". I had a stab at picking sensible colours for the dark colour scheme (which the old code didn't do), but since I don't routinely use that colour scheme, I'd appreciate testing and feedback from someone who does. All old grid related gshcemrc entries and the colour index name now have "dots-" prepended.
