Description
I'm writing a post process script. I need to add some text to different layers.
The layer= parameter in addText() is not working. I always get error " 'int' object has no attribute 'name' " no matter what I put as argument.
Steps to Reproduce
Example code:
from pcbnew import F_Cu
def kikitPostprocess(panel, arg):
#panel.addText("test", (( 0,0 )), layer=F_Cu )
#panel.addText("test", (( 0,0 )), layer=0 )
panel.addText("test", (( 0,0 )) )
The last line is the only one that works.
layer= parameter works fine in addLine(). So this is something specific to addText().
I'm running kikit from the GUI.
Ok, I managed to get it working. This works:
from kikit.defs import Layer
def kikitPostprocess(panel, arg):
panel.addText("test", (( 0,0 )), layer=Layer.F_Cu )
Layer.F_Cu seems to work equally in every place. It's interesting that many functions accept pcbnew.F_Cu too..
