Lack of polygon support is polyGONE

New Stuff !!

• Added polygon support.
• Support default svg stroke/fill styles.
• Allow non-group items to be assigned a layer with inkscape:label.
• Add fallback for inkscape:label to be element id.

Fixes

• Fixed arc/ellipse bounding box calculations.
• Fixed incorrect inlining point selection.
• Refactor confusing variable names.

v1.1 Fancy Hatching

➕ Added option to output keepout areas to include hatching styles of: none, edge, or full

➕ Added cli option to not need flags for specifying input file
svg2mod input.svg is now valid

➕ Added helpful error message when no layers are found to suggest using the --force flag

v1 So many new features its a new tool

Kicad v6 brought some new features to footprints and to celebrate large portions of svg2mod have been heavily modified to make it an even more useful tool in artistic circuit board designing!

• Mostly full support for svg shapes
• Significantly faster hole in-lining algorithm
• Better distinct object detection
• Drill holes
• Keepout zones
• Layer options from inkscape layer names
• Force layer cli option --force
• Style inheritance
• Stroke width scaling
• Split svg2mod.py into multiple smaller files for a better library experience
• Fixed many bugs

The example in examples/svg2mod.svg has been updated to demonstrate some of this new functionality.
