gEDA-user: Basic cairo rendering and new grid mode in git HEAD

[Peter Clifton <pcjc2@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys,

The code (albeit reworked a bit) which brought you these screen-shots:

Has now hit hit HEAD! (Ok.. font rendering hasn't quite made it yet).


I'd love to hear some feedback on this.

"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.


Comments...??
