Sc. Έλλεν Εμίλια Άννα Zscheile. This was quite a bit involved in unexpected place. For a bit of history, it is important to keep in mind that during the development of this, the underlying architecture was massively overhauled afaik twice or such. Furthermore, I had to put some effort into handling dependency upgrades across a large amount of involved Rust crates, to make it possible that anyangle can be properly integrated into Topola later.https://topola.dev/notes/2025/05/11/planar-incr-embed-concepts-deep-dive/Sun, 11 May 2025 00:00:00 +0000https://topola.dev/notes/2025/05/11/planar-incr-embed-concepts-deep-dive/For the past (almost) 6 months, I (Ellen Emilia Anna Zscheile (fogti)) worked on developing the planar-incr-embed crate, and worked on building a new routing backend for Topola based upon that, which uses a much smaller navigation mesh than the original routing backend. Terminology In this article, “etched path” will refer to routes / rubber band paths across a PCB which can’t be intersected by other paths. “holes” refer to unroutable sections of the PCB (which are the start and end of a path, but can’t be crossed otherwise), in particular, all “primal” vertices, i.
