KiCad

Python scripting

Asked by Daniel Matuschek

The Python scripting reference at http://www.kicad-pcb.org/display/KICAD/KiCad+Scripting+Reference+Manual shows an example how to hide values. However testing this with the latest stable and the latest testing version shows, that the functions "GetGetValueObj()" and "GetReferenceObj()" do not exist for a module. How can I hide the value of a module?

I somehow thought that the python API docs were auto-generated using

cmake -> make -> something -> xml -> doxygen

$ make help

should list that build step as a possible target.

Nothing in terms of documentation will be more current than this, since it comes from the
code itself via "something".

Can you help with this problem?
