[![Travis CI Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools/badge.png?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools?branch=master) [![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pcb-tools/badge/?version=latest)](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pcb-tools/?badge=latest)
Tools to handle Gerber and Excellon files in Python.
Usage Example:
import gerber from gerber.render import GerberCairoContext
# Read gerber and Excellon files top_copper = gerber.read(‘example.GTL’) nc_drill = gerber.read(‘example.txt’)
# Rendering context ctx = GerberCairoContext()
# Create SVG image top_copper.render(ctx) nc_drill.render(ctx, ‘composite.svg’)
Rendering Examples:
### Top Composite rendering ![Composite Top Image](examples/cairo_example.png) ![Composite Bottom Image](examples/cairo_bottom.png)
Source code for this example can be found [here](examples/cairo_example.py).
Install from source: ` $ git clone https://github.com/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools.git $ cd pcb-tools $ pip install -r requirements.txt $ python setup.py install `

Development and Testing:
Dependencies for developing and testing pcb-tools are listed in test-requirements.txt. Use of a virtual environment is strongly recommended.
$ virtualenv venv $ source venv/bin/activate (venv)$ pip install -r test-requirements.txt (venv)$ pip install -e .
We use nose to run pcb-tools’s suite of unittests and doctests.
(venv)$ nosetests
