What can you do with gdsr

gdsr offers many features which include but are not limited to:

• Easy reading from and writing to gds files
• Strictly typed python code
• Easy to understand code

Inspiration

My main inspiration comes from gdstk. If you are looking for an extremely fast gds manipulation python package then i would strongly recommend heading over and having a look at his work.

Other inspirations include:

• gdsfactory
• klayout

How to get started using gdsr

A simple program below shows the easy to use interface.

import gdsr

library = gdsr.Library("My First Library")

cell = gdsr.Cell("My First Cell")

cell.add(gdsr.Text("Hello, World!"))

library.add(cell)

library.to_gds("My first gdsr output.gds")
