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.

Installation

Requirements:

python >= 3.5 (written and tested with 3.6)
numpy
matplotlib (optional, used for visualization functions and text)
python-gdsii (optional, used for gdsii i/o)
svgwrite (optional, used for svg output)
freetype (optional, used for text)

Install with pip:

pip3 install 'masque[visualization,gdsii,svg,text]'

Alternatively, install from git

pip3 install git+https://mpxd.net/code/jan/masque.git@release

TODO

Polygon de-embedding
Construct from bitmap
Boolean operations on polygons (using pyclipper)
Output to OASIS (using fatamorgana)
