Chop/Cut/etc

tagger5896

Playing with the tool this is a take on the Chop/Cut Etc
Draw a box , Draw a path, select the box then the path , run the script.
Plan is to make this where you select the box then draw the path
will automatically , tunnel through selected object.

# This script requires two selections
# * the first selection is the "subject" 
# * the second selection (Shift + click on object) is the "mask"
# The script will take all polygons from the subject and 
# separate it into parts inside and outside of the mask. 
# 
# TODO: 
# * as a side effect, the polygons are merged currently
#   (solution: pass them separately through the boolean operation)
# The Above has been implemented 

#Modifications

#This Script is based on the Solution Matthias provided in January 2017 Klayout thread.
#https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/comment/4167#Comment_416744
#Modifications have been made too allow any layer too be used for the "Mask"
#Functionality is the same but you can use any "Dummy" layer as the "Mask" layer
#Select your "Dummy" Layer for the "Mask" this can be a "Box", "Path", "Polygon"
#Draw your "Dummy" layer over the selection then as above
# * the first selection is the "subject" 
# * the second selection (Shift + click on object) is the "mask"
#then run this "script"
#Will add functionality for "Menu" later

Thanks for sharing the code @tagger5896

Matthias,

Learning as I go , I know the chop cut functions already exist , but wanted too see if I
could roll my own.
