Shapes and images can now be resized, rotated, and skewed directly
on the canvas, not just moved. Both share one small transform
struct (rotation, then skew, then scale, anchored on a movable
pivot) and one handle widget, so a corner drag, an edge skew, or
grabbing the rotate handle behaves the same way and runs through
the same matrix math everywhere, instead of every item type
reinventing its own.
Shapes also gained a proper pen tool (bezier paths, corner/smooth/
symmetric nodes), arc support, and mirroring. Images gained
non-destructive cropping and colour-keyed transparency, both
remember their own settings, so reopening the dialog picks up
where you left off instead of starting over.
Properties dialogs for both were extended to match (position,
size, angle, skew), with undo/redo wired through for every handle
drag.
Old XML files can read easily as the transformation is only added
if needed and the old syntax is still used and understood if it is
not needed.
- Add DPI selection (150/300/600) to the page selection dialog
- Add live page preview in the selection dialog
- Conditionally compile PDF import only for Qt6 (#if QT_VERSION)
- Add custom pdf-import icon (PDF document with + symbol)
- Register new icon in qelectrotech.qrc
- Qt5 builds: PDF import action is hidden, everything else works as before
Now that the problem with the translations of keyboard shortcuts has been resolved and rotation using the space bar works reliably in principle, I took a closer look at the rotation function itself in the element editor.
I noticed, for example, that arcs can be rotated at an angle of 15°. This doesn't really make sense, as the “arc” part doesn't have the “rotation” property. There is only width and height.
And somehow rotating arcs didn't work well: start- and span-angles weren't adjusted.
Lines and polygons can be rotated in 15° increments, which doesn't make much sense, if other parts that can only be rotated in 90° increments are selected at the same time.
To make a long story short:
I reworked the rotation functions of the graphical parts so that now all parts are rotated in 90° steps around the origin! This means that it is now possible to mark several parts and rotate them around the same point at the same time!
In addition, the functions for mirroring graphic parts at y-axis (shortcut "M") and flipping at x-axis (shortcut "F") have been implemented.
I have saved the text elements for later!
