Glyphs
This example demonstrates how to use the TextGenerator class. See here
for the original documentation.
It also shows how to use a custom font. The font is defined by a special GDS
file (Download 7seg_font.gds).
Code:
import klayout.db as db
import math
ly = db.Layout()
top_cell = ly.create_cell("TOP")
l1 = ly.layer(1, 0)
l2 = ly.layer(2, 0)
mag = 10.0
# uses the default font
gen = db.TextGenerator.default_generator()
region = gen.text("0123456789", ly.dbu, mag)
top_cell.shapes(l1).insert(region)
# uses a new generator with a custom font
gen = db.TextGenerator()
gen.load_from_file("7seg_font.gds")
region = gen.text("0123456789", ly.dbu, mag)
top_cell.shapes(l2).insert(region, db.DTrans(db.DVector(0, 10.0)))
ly.write("glyphs.gds")
Result:
