Hello,
I have a big GDS file with a lot of cells organized in a tree hierarchy. I want to retrieve the lowest level cells and their names together with the names of the cells above them in the hierarchy.
To get the lowest level cells I'm doing a loop over all cells and search for cells with a specific string which associated with the cells I need, but I don't know how to also retrieve the names of the upper cells.
A second thing that I need is to get a list of the layers names and numbers (../..) related to specific the cell.

I assume you're looking for something like this:
In my test case, the "contact_9" cell is instantiated in various ways below a common top cell "pand2x4", and the result is that:
GDS does not have layer names, so you'll only get layer and datatype numbers.
