This software is a rendering programm for GDS2 layout files. The GDS2 format is mainly used in integrated circuit development. This program allows the conversion of a GDS file to a vector graphics file.

Output Formats

• Export GDS Layout to LaTeX (using TikZ).
• Export to PDF (Cairographics).

Features

Note: Due to various size limitations of both TikZ and the PDF export, the layout might not render correctly. In this case adjust the scale value. A higher scale value scales down your design.

• Layer colors configurable as ARGB color values.
• Command line interface.
• Awesome Somehow usable GUI.
