custom panel formats via parameter files or similar #4

Closed jsleeio closed 4 years ago

jsleeio commented 5 years ago

There are a huge variety of off-the-shelf enclosures available that can accommodate a custom front panel. It would be nice if schroff (which really needs a new name!) could support these via files that define their parameters. YAML preferred here, as they're likely to be manually written by humans. Dimensions should be in metric (millimetres). Something like the below (completely made up) example maybe?

kind: enclosure
notes:
  manufacturer: 'ACME Enclosures Inc'
  partnumber: 'aenc-100-75-30'
spec:
  width: 100
  height: 75
  cornerRadius: 5
  mountingHoles:
  - { x: 10, y: 10, size: 3 }
  - { x: 90, y: 10, size: 3 }
  - { x: 10, y: 65, size: 3 }
  - { x: 90, y: 65, size: 3 }

Basic support for this is now in both panelgen and schroff, closing.
