* New: In Hurricane::Isobar::PyPolygon, export the getSubPolygons()
method. Makes a list of list (maybe tuple should have been better
to prevent user's rewrite).
* Change: In documentation/examples/scripts/, update polygons.py to
serve as a very basic test-bench for Polygon, manhattanhization
and sub-polygons display.
* New: Hurricane::Triange as been renamed into Hurricane::Polygon.
Add support for convex polygons. Polygon are approximateds by
excess by a manhattan rectilinear polygon (with potentially
thousands of vertexes). To reduce the memory footprint,
compaction techniques reducing by at least a factor 4 has been
implemented. We could go further by only storing the non-repetitive
part of the edge (defined by the integral fraction dY/dY).
We will see, if the program slows too much.
The manhattan approximate is always computed but displayed
only if the polygon grid step is greated than 4 pixels.
The level of approximation of the polygons can be controlled
through the "DbU::_polygonStep" parameter.
* Change: In CRL/coriolisInit.py and CRL/helpers/Technology.py, regroup
all DbU related parameters into "technoConfig" (i.e. suppress
"viewerConfig"). Update all the relevant technology.conf configuration
files.
Change the loader behavior so that "technoConfig" is read first
and is now responsible for creating the Technology of the DataBase.
* New: In Hurricane::CellWidget, added support for displaying mahanttanized
polygons.
* Change: In documenation/scripts/expample/polygons.py, perform (I hope)
a comprehensive test of the polygons (check all slopes, clockwise and
conter-clockwise).
* New: In Hurricane::DbU, added template to manage vector<> of DbU.
Support for the "polygonStep" parameter.
