# 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.
## 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, via git:
```bash
pip install git+https://mpxd.net/code/jan/masque.git@release
```
## TODO
* Mirroring
* Polygon de-embedding
### Maybe
* Construct from bitmap
* Boolean operations on polygons (using pyclipper)
* Output to OASIS (using fatamorgana)
