# 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.

* python 3 (written and tested with 3.5)
* numpy
* matplotlib (optional, used for visualization functions)
