snarled README
============
Layout connectivity checker.
`snarled` is a python package for checking electrical connectivity in multi-layer layouts.
It is intended to be "poor-man's LVS" (layout-versus-schematic), for when poverty
has deprived the man of both a schematic and a better connectivity tool.

- [PyPI](https://pypi.org/project/snarled)
## Installation
Requirements:
* python >= 3.9 (written and tested with 3.10)
* numpy
* klayout (python package only)
Install with pip:
```bash
pip install snarled
```
Alternatively, install from git
```bash
pip install git+https://mpxd.net/code/jan/snarled.git@release
```
## Example
See `examples/check.py` (python interface) or `examples/run.sh` (command-line interface).
Command line:
```bash
snarled connectivity.oas connectivity.txt -m layermap.txt
```
Python interface:
```python3
from pprint import pformat
import logging
import snarled
from snarled.types import layer_t
logging.basicConfig()
logging.getLogger('snarled').setLevel(logging.INFO)
connectivity = [
((1, 0), (1, 2), (2, 0)), # M1 to M2 (via V12)
((1, 0), (1, 3), (3, 0)), # M1 to M3 (via V13)
((2, 0), (2, 3), (3, 0)), # M2 to M3 (via V23)
]
labels_map: dict[layer_t, layer_t] = {
(1, 0): (1, 0),
(2, 0): (2, 0),
(3, 0): (3, 0),
}
filename = 'connectivity.oas'
nets = snarled.trace_layout(filename, connectivity, topcell='top', labels_map=labels_map)
result = snarled.TraceAnalysis(nets)
print('\n')
print(result)
```
this prints the following:
```
INFO:snarled.trace:Adding layer (3, 0)
INFO:snarled.trace:Adding layer (2, 3)
INFO:snarled.trace:Adding layer (1, 3)
INFO:snarled.trace:Adding layer (1, 2)
INFO:snarled.trace:Adding layer (1, 0)
INFO:snarled.trace:Adding layer (2, 0)

## Code organization
- The primary functionality is in `trace`; specifically `trace.trace_layout()`.
- `main` provides a command-line interface, supported by the functions in `utils`.
