Matthias, David found something I can't figure out. Namely that in Windows, "RecursiveShapeIterator object is not an iterator" Here's the sample code: layout = pya.Application.instance().main_window().current_view().active_cellview().l…

Can you also check if this works in Windows KLayout? from time import gmtime, strftime strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S", gmtime()) thanks
-
Thanks Matthias and David, So it is interesting how many things the Windows build is missing (numpy, six). I just installed Python 3 on my OSX computer, hoping that KLayout would start using this. But alas. It sounds like it needs to be recompil…
-
As above, but changing to: new_cell = cell.insert(pya.CellInstArray(pcell.cell_index(), t)) new_selectionN = len(new_selection) new_selection.append( pya.ObjectInstPath() ) new_selection[new_selectionN].top = o.top new_selection[new…

Hi David, I think we need to make it work for both 2 and 3. I'd rather make the code work on any installation and not have to ask people to modify their setups... The "six" package is a good idea. It is there by default on my OSX KLayo…

Yes. Your "poly" can be transformed / moved to go to a different location. http://www.klayout.de/doc/code/class_Shapes.html and http://www.klayout.de/doc/code/class_Trans.html There are also code examples here: http://sourceforge.net/…
-
Thank you. I got it working for shapes, but not for cells / instances. In your ObjectInstPath documentation, http://www.klayout.de/doc/code/class_ObjectInstPath.html, you don't have cell_index= or inst=, as a settable item. Do I need to use appen…

To add to this, I am interested in creating geometries containing thousands of points. For example, chirped & apodized spiral Bragg grating waveguides. Presently we do calculations in Matlab, save the coordinates to a file, and import them int…

Resistor value extraction -- is that something available in KLayout? and nets, etc?
-
Hi Matthias, DRC – indeed, that's the standard way of doing things. We typically use Calibre DRC, with rules provided by the photonics foundries -- similar to CMOS electronics foundries. However, there are numerous challenges with photonic-DRC. …
-
Hi Matthias, Regarding your idea of distributing the .klayout folder. Changing the $KLAYOUT_PATH would presumably use the new one, rather than the user default of $HOME/.klayout. So I could also provide a klayoutrc file, preconfigured to how I li…
-
Hi David, On the Mac, python is pre-installed, and is version 2.7. And on both Linux and OSX (apple), KLayout isn't built with Python -- KLayout just uses the system-installed Python. And on the Mac, we have "numpy" (numerical python, a…
-
Ah yes. Selection mode - hierarchy "Select top level objects only" in the Object Editor Options. Thank you
-
Hi David, I am already using personal Libraries in my own .klayoutrc folder. This question is about packaging a technology for distribution to other people in a single folder / zip file. I'm wondering if I create a folder "libraries" in…
-
Hi Matthias, Something changed for me in the behaviour of "PCell content is selectable (Caution: PCell recomputation may conflict with edits)". Previously (up to a couple of days ago, perhaps after I reset my klayoutrc file), I operated …
-
Thank you David. I confirm that undo/redo works. However, I also confirm the bug you found. Another thing I found is that if you don't call "commit", you have a problem: * The layout screen goes empty, and I can't see the box. The Cell…

Hi Matthias, I implemented a netlist extraction, and posted the code on GitHub - https://github.com/lukasc-ubc/SiEPIC_EBeam_PDK It searches for paths and ROUND_PATHs, finds out what they are connected to, and generates a Spice netlist file. Then …
-
Good point. It makes sense to use microns for PCells.
-
I didn't notice, but the "path" is actually a DPath object, which includes the parameter "w". So I can read this in order to write an "undo" ROUND_PATH function.
-
Thanks Matthias and David. I think I figured out a way to implement the follow functionality. (updated on GitHub) I have two hotkeys: * W: snaps the path to the nearest pins, and uses the ROUND_PATH to make it a waveguide. Keep track of which pi…
-
Hi Kazzz, You're right, it works. I guess I'll start from scratch and re-enter my preferences...
-
Hi Matthias, Re - crashing. Yes, they occur during self.register, while developing PCells. The following crash occurred after I copied and pasted a PCell in the code, renamed it, (didn't add a new register_pcell line) and ran the script. Also, I…

Got it, but still experiencing the key binding problem. My key bindings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vebf3k0vxvzoods/Screenshot%202015-11-13%2003.38.01.png?dl=0 Same problem. When I push "x" or Shift "x", nothing happens. Same …
-
Thank you. The latest version on klayout.de is 0.24.2, and your Dropbox link is 5 days old: https://www.dropbox.com/s/73v7uelklbcjvr8/klayout-0.24.3-MacOSX-Yosemite-1-Qt487mp.dmg.bz2?dl=0 I downloaded this, and confirm that the DRC is fixed! How…
-
Thanks Kazzz! Here's another minor "bug". The Key Bindings don't seem to work for the toolbar objects. For example, edit_mode.mode_menu.instance, Instance – setting this to "i", and pressing "i" doesn't do anything. …
-
How do you get the width of the path from the ROUND_PATH PCell? Here is the list returned for the PCell: * def PCell_get_parameter_list ( ROUND_PATH, Basic): * Name: layer, TypeList, unit: , default: None, description: Layer. * Name: radius, T…
-
It seems like I can just scale the values returned by the PCell "ROUND_PATH" DPath = subcell.pcell_parameters_by_name()["path"]*(1/dbu) # DPath object and get it back to dbu rather than microns...
-
Thanks Matthias. My main objective was to understand how to call the layout generation function from PCells in general (including my own). I agree that the circle is simple so make more sense to code in yourself. Yes, the ROUND_PATH functionality…
-
1) In the above example, the code isn't quite right. It should be cell.flatten(True). It flattens everything under cell, namely the fake text_cell. But... I notice that all the flatten functions you have flatten all the contents of the cell, but…
