movies/animations and color gradients in klayout?

edited June 2013 in General
Hi Mathias -

I think some time ago I saw examples of "projects" in your gallery page illustrating movie/animation capabilities of klayout, as well as layouts with continuous color gradients - are they gone forever? Can you bring them back?

Thanks,

Max

    Hi Max,

    there never was "movie animation" or "color gradient" support. So there is nothing gone :-)

    It is possible to animate the layout by employing Ruby scripting (i.e. http://klayout.de/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=252&page=1#Item_2). Color gradients may be emulated by splitting the layout into many layers are assigning different colors to them (i.e. http://klayout.de/rba_examples.html#example5).

    Maybe you are referring to these techniques?

    Hi Matthias -

    yes, these two examples (scripts) is exactly what I was looking for - thanks a lot!

    I modified slightly the script for the color gradients, to apply the "jet" colormap, as it provides a better visual, in my opinion (http://www.metastine.com/?p=7).
