Re: gEDA-user: (Solved) SFlags definition question

[myken <myken@xxxxxx>]

I don't fully understand the source code and I don't know if anyone is
interested but this is what I found.

Apparently there are 5 types of thermals:
1. a X shape with straight spokes
2. a X shape with round spokes
3. a + shape with straight spokes
4. a + shape with round spokes
5. a solid shape

In the PCB file they are represented by:
1. a nothing
2. a "X"
3. a "+"
4. a "t"
5. a "S"

The thermal SFlags attribute follows the structure:
thermal(layer[spoketype],layer[spoketype],layer[spoketype])

So:
Via[100000 100000 5500 2000 0 3000 "" "thermal(0X)"]
is a via with a X shape thermal with straight spokes connected to layer
0.

Via[100000 100000 5500 2000 0 3000 "" "thermal(1t)"]
is a via with a + shape thermal with round spokes connected to layer 1.

Via[100000 100000 5500 2000 0 3000 "" "thermal(0S,1-3+,4)"]
is a via with:
a solid thermal connected to layer 0,
a + shape with straight spokes connected to layers 1 through 3,
a X shape with straight spokes connected to layer 4

Thanks everyone.
Regards, Robert.
