Subject:	[geda-user] [pcb-rnd] On the fly, parametric bitmap insertion now supported on layouts
To:	geda-user <geda-user AT delorie DOT com>
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

Coding continues apace in pcb-rnd, such that we now have parametric
support for all graphics types supported by netpbm for on the fly
insertion into PCB layouts as footprint silkscreen bitmaps.

netpbm currently supports the following formats:

   bmp, fiasco, fits, gem, gif, jpeg, palm, ps, rast, rle, sgi, sir,
tiff, xwd, zeiss, png

The necessary bitmap() script files for adding bitmap insertion
support to pcb-rnd can be found on the edakrill repository.

For all the technical details, and pictures of easter eggs, see:

Enjoy responsibly,

Erich
