Minor details in the produced image

Hey @jnavila do you have an idea why these small missmatches happen?

Some symbols are not pretty the same to what we see in the real schematic

Other features are not equal too

Real schematic. I feel this one could be improved a little bit, but I have not clue.

The whole page, for instance

Real text displacement. Ah maybe this one is due to the font mismatch and the text anchor is

Don't get me wrong, pltogitsch is pretty good. I am just asking to understand why these items are slightly different.

Text displacements and arcs'wrong orientation are bugs, mostly known but difficult to fix because plotgitsch must mimic kicad while using svg primitives but I don't have a clear specification of how kicad draws arcs for instance. After some tries and failures, I found an almost good solution, and moved on. I'll give it another try during the implementation of the kicad_sch format.

For general layout, this really an internal algorithm, so it can be enhanced. I don't plan to implement the templating system.

Cool, thanks for the explanation. Since plotgitsch is comparing 2 versions generated with the same tool doesn't need to be a perfect image of Kicad's schematic.
