skidl.tools.kicad7.bboxes module

Calculate bounding boxes for part symbols and hierarchical sheets.

skidl.tools.kicad7.bboxes.calc_hier_label_bbox(label, dir)[source]

Calculate the bounding box for a hierarchical label.

Parameters:

  • label (str) – String for the label.

  • dir (str) – Orientation (“U”, “D”, “L”, “R”).

Returns:

Bounding box for the label and hierarchical terminal.

Return type:

BBox

skidl.tools.kicad7.bboxes.calc_symbol_bbox(part, **options)[source]

Return the bounding box of the part symbol.

Calculates bounding box from the symbol’s draw_cmds including pins, graphical objects (polyline, circle, rectangle, arc), and text. Coordinates are converted from library mm to placement-engine mils.

Parameters:

  • part – Part object for which a bounding box will be created.

  • options (dict) – Various options to control bounding box calculation.

Returns:

[overall_bbox, unit1_bbox, unit2_bbox, …] in mils.

Return type:

List of BBoxes
