# Masque README
Masque is a Python module for designing lithography masks.
The general idea is to implement something resembling the GDSII file-format, but
with some vectorized element types (eg. circles, not just polygons), better support for
E-beam doses, and the ability to output to multiple formats.

## Translation
- `Pattern`: OASIS or GDS "Cell", DXF "Block"
- `SubPattern`: GDS "AREF/SREF", OASIS "Placement"
- `Shape`: OASIS or GDS "Geometry element", DXF "LWPolyline" or "Polyline"
- `repetition`: OASIS "repetition". GDS "AREF" is a `SubPattern` combined with a `Grid` repetition.
- `Label`: OASIS, GDS, DXF "Text".
- `annotation`: OASIS or GDS "property"

## TODO
2019-04-07 17:58:11 -07:00
2020-09-10 20:18:34 -07:00
* Better interface for polygon operations (e.g. with `pyclipper`)
- de-embedding
- boolean ops
* Construct polygons from bitmap using `skimage.find_contours`
2020-08-15 18:23:16 -07:00
* Deal with shape repetitions for dxf, svg
