Out of the grid stitching

TheColonelYoung opened this issue · comments

I tried to fill ground plane with via. Based on example picture in README I expected vias to be placed into grid. But vias are placed out of the grid. In configuration for stitching is random placing of vias disabled (image below). I thought that would be caused by round corners, but it was nearly same after making sharp corners. I tried to use star pattern or random it but was very similiar. I also try to use different setting for via size, grid and clearence but also was out of grid.

Kicad Version: 5.1.4-e60b26684ubuntu18.04.1, release build
Via stitching plugin: commit 5c7670c

Also in empty project with rectangular PCB with only one part vias was not in grid. Setting was same as on picture above.

Should vias be even placed to grid or I misinterpret the image?

Last commit fix that...
