Es ist einfach an alle relevanten Informationen zu gelangen, um die Leiterplattengröße in PCB-Investigator anzeigen lassen zu können. Der Beispielcode nutzt den IPluginWorker, um das Zeichenevent abzupassen und zwei einfache Elemente mit einer Größe im Bereich von Tausendsteln zu zeichnen.

Es werden drei Event-Handler benötigt, um alle relevanten Events abzudecken: einen Event-Handler für das Öffnen von Daten im PCB-Investigator, einen für das Schließen und einen für das Main-Event, um eine neue Grafik im Grafikterminal des PCB-Investigators zu zeichnen.

Der vollständige Code ist in unserem SDK enthalten.
