         """
-        `mpath` is a superset of `path` and `path_to` which can act on bundles or buses
-        of "wires or "waveguides".
-
-        The wires will travel so that the output ports will be placed at well-defined
-        locations along the axis of their input ports, but may have arbitrary (tool-
-        dependent) offsets in the perpendicular direction.
-
-        If `ccw` is not `None`, the wire bundle will turn 90 degres in either the
-        clockwise (`ccw=False`) or counter-clockwise (`ccw=True`) direction. Within the
-        bundle, the center-to-center wire spacings after the turn are set by `spacing`,
-        which is required when `ccw` is not `None`. The final position of bundle as a
-        whole can be set in a number of ways:
-
-             =A>---------------------------V     turn direction: `ccw=False`
-                       =B>-------------V   |
-         =C>-----------------------V   |

-                        <------>              `bound_type='min_past_furthest', bound=`
-          <-------------------------------->  `emax=`
-                               x              `pmin=`
-                                           x  `pmax=`
-
-            - `emin=`, equivalent to `bound_type='min_extension', bound=`
-                The total extension value for the furthest-out port (B in the diagram).
-            - `emax=`, equivalent to `bound_type='max_extension', bound=`:
-                The total extension value for the closest-in port (C in the diagram).
-            - `pmin=`, equivalent to `xmin=`, `ymin=`, or `bound_type='min_position', bound=`:
-                The coordinate of the innermost bend (D's bend).
-                The x/y versions throw an error if they do not match the port axis (for debug)
-            - `pmax=`, `xmax=`, `ymax=`, or `bound_type='max_position', bound=`:
-                The coordinate of the outermost bend (A's bend).
-                The x/y versions throw an error if they do not match the port axis (for debug)
-            - `bound_type='min_past_furthest', bound=`:
-                The distance between furthest out-port (B) and the innermost bend (D's bend).
-
-        If `ccw=None`, final output positions (along the input axis) of all wires will be
-        identical (i.e. wires will all be cut off evenly). In this case, `spacing=None` is
-        required. In this case, `emin=` and `emax=` are equivalent to each other, and
-        `pmin=`, `pmax=`, `xmin=`, etc. are also equivalent to each other.
-
-        If using `RenderPather`, `RenderPather.render` must be called after all paths have been fully planned.
-
-        Args:
-            portspec: The names of the ports which are to be routed.
-            ccw: If `None`, the outputs should be along the same axis as the inputs.
-                Otherwise, cast to bool and turn 90 degrees counterclockwise if `True`
-                and clockwise otherwise.
-            spacing: Center-to-center distance between output ports along the input port's axis.
-                Must be provided if (and only if) `ccw` is not `None`.
-            set_rotation: If the provided ports have `rotation=None`, this can be used
-                to set a rotation for them.
-
-        Returns:
-            self
-
-        Raises:
-            BuildError if the implied length for any wire is too close to fit the bend

-class Builder(PortList):
-    """
-      A `Builder` is a helper object used for snapping together multiple
-    lower-level patterns at their `Port`s.
-
-      The `Builder` mostly just holds context, in the form of a `Library`,
-    in addition to its underlying pattern. This simplifies some calls
-    to `plug` and `place`, by making the library implicit.
-
-    `Builder` can also be `set_dead()`, at which point further calls to `plug()`
-    and `place()` are ignored (intended for debugging).
-
-
-    Examples: Creating a Builder
-    ===========================
-    - `Builder(library, ports={'A': port_a, 'C': port_c}, name='mypat')` makes
-        an empty pattern, adds the given ports, and places it into `library`
-        under the name `'mypat'`.
-
-    - `Builder(library)` makes an empty pattern with no ports. The pattern
-        is not added into `library` and must later be added with e.g.
-        `library['mypat'] = builder.pattern`
-
-    - `Builder(library, pattern=pattern, name='mypat')` uses an existing
-        pattern (including its ports) and sets `library['mypat'] = pattern`.
-
-    - `Builder.interface(other_pat, port_map=['A', 'B'], library=library)`
-        makes a new (empty) pattern, copies over ports 'A' and 'B' from
-        `other_pat`, and creates additional ports 'in_A' and 'in_B' facing
-        in the opposite directions. This can be used to build a device which
-        can plug into `other_pat` (using the 'in_*' ports) but which does not
-        itself include `other_pat` as a subcomponent.
-
-    - `Builder.interface(other_builder, ...)` does the same thing as
-        `Builder.interface(other_builder.pattern, ...)` but also uses
-        `other_builder.library` as its library by default.
-
-
-    Examples: Adding to a pattern
-    =============================
-    - `my_device.plug(subdevice, {'A': 'C', 'B': 'B'}, map_out={'D': 'myport'})`
-        instantiates `subdevice` into `my_device`, plugging ports 'A' and 'B'
-        of `my_device` into ports 'C' and 'B' of `subdevice`. The connected ports
-        are removed and any unconnected ports from `subdevice` are added to
-        `my_device`. Port 'D' of `subdevice` (unconnected) is renamed to 'myport'.
-
-    - `my_device.plug(wire, {'myport': 'A'})` places port 'A' of `wire` at 'myport'
-        of `my_device`. If `wire` has only two ports (e.g. 'A' and 'B'), no `map_out`,
-        argument is provided, and the `thru` argument is not explicitly
-        set to `False`, the unconnected port of `wire` is automatically renamed to
-        'myport'. This allows easy extension of existing ports without changing
-        their names or having to provide `map_out` each time `plug` is called.
-
-    - `my_device.place(pad, offset=(10, 10), rotation=pi / 2, port_map={'A': 'gnd'})`
-        instantiates `pad` at the specified (x, y) offset and with the specified
-        rotation, adding its ports to those of `my_device`. Port 'A' of `pad` is
-        renamed to 'gnd' so that further routing can use this signal or net name
-        rather than the port name on the original `pad` device.

-                added into `self.library`, after which the topcell is plugged;
-                an equivalent statement is `self.plug(self.library << other, ...)`.
-            map_in: dict of `{'self_port': 'other_port'}` mappings, specifying
-                port connections between the two devices.
-            map_out: dict of `{'old_name': 'new_name'}` mappings, specifying
-                new names for ports in `other`.
-            mirrored: Enables mirroring `other` across the x axis prior to
-                connecting any ports.
-            thru: If map_in specifies only a single port, `thru` provides a mechainsm
-                to avoid repeating the port name. Eg, for `map_in={'myport': 'A'}`,
-                - If True (default), and `other` has only two ports total, and map_out
-                doesn't specify a name for the other port, its name is set to the key
-                in `map_in`, i.e. 'myport'.
-                - If a string, `map_out[thru]` is set to the key in `map_in` (i.e. 'myport').
-                An error is raised if that entry already exists.
-
-                This makes it easy to extend a pattern with simple 2-port devices
-                (e.g. wires) without providing `map_out` each time `plug` is
-                called. See "Examples" above for more info. Default `True`.
-            set_rotation: If the necessary rotation cannot be determined from
-                the ports being connected (i.e. all pairs have at least one
-                port with `rotation=None`), `set_rotation` must be provided
-                to indicate how much `other` should be rotated. Otherwise,
-                `set_rotation` must remain `None`.
-            append: If `True`, `other` is appended instead of being referenced.
-                Note that this does not flatten  `other`, so its refs will still
-                be refs (now inside `self`).
-            ok_connections: Set of "allowed" ptype combinations. Identical
-                ptypes are always allowed to connect, as is `'unk'` with
-                any other ptypte. Non-allowed ptype connections will emit a
-                warning. Order is ignored, i.e. `(a, b)` is equivalent to
-                `(b, a)`.

     """
-      An extension of `Builder` which provides functionality for routing and attaching
-    single-use patterns (e.g. wires or waveguides) and bundles / buses of such patterns.
+      A `Pather` is a helper object used for snapping together multiple
+    lower-level patterns at their `Port`s, and for routing single-use
+    patterns (e.g. wires or waveguides) between them.
 
-      `Pather` is mostly concerned with calculating how long each wire should be. It calls
-    out to `Tool.traceL` functions provided by subclasses of `Tool` to build the actual patterns.
-    `Tool`s are assigned on a per-port basis and stored in `.tools`; a key of `None` represents
-    a "default" `Tool` used for all ports which do not have a port-specific `Tool` assigned.
+      The `Pather` holds context in the form of a `Library`, its underlying
+    pattern, and a set of `Tool`s for generating routing segments.
 
+    Routing operations (`trace`, `jog`, `uturn`, etc.) are by default
+    deferred: they record the intended path but do not immediately generate
+    geometry. `render()` must be called to generate the final layout.
+    Alternatively, setting `auto_render=True` in the constructor will
+    cause geometry to be generated incrementally after each routing step.
 
     Examples: Creating a Pather
     ===========================
-    - `Pather(library, tools=my_tool)` makes an empty pattern with no ports. The pattern
-        is not added into `library` and must later be added with e.g.
-        `library['mypat'] = pather.pattern`.
-        The default wire/waveguide generating tool for all ports is set to `my_tool`.
-
-    - `Pather(library, ports={'in': Port(...), 'out': ...}, name='mypat', tools=my_tool)`
-        makes an empty pattern, adds the given ports, and places it into `library`
-        under the name `'mypat'`. The default wire/waveguide generating tool
-        for all ports is set to `my_tool`
-
-    - `Pather(..., tools={'in': top_metal_40um, 'out': bottom_metal_1um, None: my_tool})`
-        assigns specific tools to individual ports, and `my_tool` as a default for ports
-        which are not specified.
-
-    - `Pather.interface(other_pat, port_map=['A', 'B'], library=library, tools=my_tool)`
-        makes a new (empty) pattern, copies over ports 'A' and 'B' from
-        `other_pat`, and creates additional ports 'in_A' and 'in_B' facing
-        in the opposite directions. This can be used to build a device which
-        can plug into `other_pat` (using the 'in_*' ports) but which does not
-        itself include `other_pat` as a subcomponent.
-
-    - `Pather.interface(other_pather, ...)` does the same thing as
-        `Builder.interface(other_builder.pattern, ...)` but also uses
-        `other_builder.library` as its library by default.
+    - `Pather(library, tools=my_tool)` makes an empty pattern with no ports.
+        The default routing tool for all ports is set to `my_tool`.
 
+    - `Pather(library, name='mypat')` makes an empty pattern and adds it to
+        `library` under the name `'mypat'`.
 
     Examples: Adding to a pattern
     =============================
-    - `pather.straight('my_port', distance)` creates a straight wire with a length
-        of `distance` and `plug`s it into `'my_port'`.
+    - `pather.plug(subdevice, {'A': 'C'})` instantiates `subdevice` and
+        connects port 'A' of the current pattern to port 'C' of `subdevice`.
 
-    - `pather.bend('my_port', ccw=True, distance)` creates a "wire" for which the output
-        port is `distance` units away along the axis of `'my_port'` and rotated 90 degrees
-        counterclockwise (since `ccw=True`) relative to `'my_port'`. The wire is `plug`ged
-        into the existing `'my_port'`, causing the port to move to the wire's output.
-
-        There is no formal guarantee about how far off-axis the output will be located;
-        there may be a significant width to the bend that is used to accomplish the 90 degree
-        turn. However, an error is raised if `distance` is too small to fit the bend.
-
-    - `pather.trace_to('my_port', ccw=False, x=position)` creates a wire which starts at
-        `'my_port'` and has its output at the specified `position`, pointing 90 degrees
-        clockwise relative to the input. Again, the off-axis position or distance to the
-        output is not specified, so `position` takes the form of a single coordinate.
-
-    - `pather.trace(['A', 'B', 'C'], ccw=True, spacing=spacing, xmax=position)` acts
-        on multiple ports simultaneously. Each port's wire is generated using its own
-        `Tool` (or the default tool if left unspecified).
-        The output ports are spaced out by `spacing` along the input ports' axis.
-
-    - `pather.plug(wire, {'myport': 'A'})` places port 'A' of `wire` at 'myport'
-        of `pather.pattern`. If `wire` has only two ports (e.g. 'A' and 'B'), no `map_out`,
-        argument is provided, and the `inherit_name` argument is not explicitly
-        set to `False`, the unconnected port of `wire` is automatically renamed to
-        'myport'. This allows easy extension of existing ports without changing
-        their names or having to provide `map_out` each time `plug` is called.
-
-    - `pather.place(pad, offset=(10, 10), rotation=pi / 2, port_map={'A': 'gnd'})`
-        instantiates `pad` at the specified (x, y) offset and with the specified
-        rotation, adding its ports to those of `pather.pattern`. Port 'A' of `pad` is
-        renamed to 'gnd' so that further routing can use this signal or net name
-        rather than the port name on the original `pad` device.
-
-    - `pather.retool(tool)` or `pather.retool(tool, ['in', 'out', None])` can change
-        which tool is used for the given ports (or as the default tool). Useful
-        when placing vias or using multiple waveguide types along a route.
+    - `pather.trace('my_port', ccw=True, length=100)` plans a 100-unit bend
+        starting at 'my_port'. If `auto_render=True`, geometry is added
+        immediately. Otherwise, call `pather.render()` later.

-            pattern: The pattern which will be modified by subsequent operations.
-                If `None` (default), a new pattern is created.
-            ports: Allows specifying the initial set of ports, if `pattern` does

-

-            portspec: The name of the port into which the wire will be plugged.
-            jog: Total manhattan distance perpendicular to the direction of travel.
-                Positive values are to the left of the direction of travel.
-            length: The total manhattan distance from input to output, along the input's axis only.

-            impossible length), a dummy linear extension is used to maintain port
-            consistency for downstream operations.
