GDSreader - simple Calma (GDSii) parser/printer tool.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This software has as target the printing/plotting/displaying of Calma (GDSii)
|
||
|
|
files without using true layout editors. I had once to visualize an unknown
|
||
|
|
Calma file and customizing LEdit or Magic (the two layout editors I had access
|
||
|
|
to) was so difficult that I decided to write this program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Current status:
|
||
|
|
- gdsreader is in an alpha stage and you should not expect too much from it;
|
||
|
|
- the Calma files are almost completely parsed (had no layout example that
|
||
|
|
makes use of BOX/NODE elements);
|
||
|
|
- given a Calma structure name, a PostScript file and a HPGL/2 file are
|
||
|
|
generated. The way each layer is handled is controlled by an ASCII
|
||
|
|
configuration file. The properties that can be set are color, fill (only
|
||
|
|
solid is supported), hatch (simple or cross, the angle and spacing are user
|
||
|
|
customizable too).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In order to produce an useful PostScript output, you need to write a
|
||
|
|
configuration file (default is .layers.config). The one you'll find with the
|
||
|
|
distribution is suitable for the Calma example test.gds (an actual Bandgap
|
||
|
|
reference).
