Making a Box and Rotating It

Maximus

Hey Everyone,

Can somebody tell me how to rotate a box that I make by a certain angle? I have been looking through the documentation and I can't find anything. Thanks.

Shameless plug: Download The Red Toolbox, unzip it into your C:\Users\username\KLayout\macros folder (or equivalent on Linux), restart KLayout, select box, run The Red Toolbox menu > Selection > Rotate by angle (individually). Note that the result is a polygon (rotated boxes are not supported in GDS/OAS spec).

Look at lines 61-82 of that code

Hi Maximus (nice name, BTW),

do you mean by script or manually?

By script:

RBA::Polygon::new(RBA::Box::new(left, bottom, right, top))
   .transformed(RBA::ICplxTrans::new(1.0, rotation_angle_in_degree, false, 0, 0))

Manually: draw a box and rotate using "Edit/Selection/Rotate By Angle" or use David's toolbox as suggested
