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

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.
