Box
- class ipkiss3.all.Box
A rectangular layout element defined via its center coordinate and extent in x and y, drawn on a given layer.
- Parameters:
- layer: __Layer__, required
Layout layer on which the element needs to be placed
- box_size: Coord2 and number >= 0, optional
Size of the box
- center: Coord2, optional
Center of the box
- transformation: GenericNoDistortTransform, optional
Notes
The center coordinate (center) defaults to (0.0, 0.0). The extent in x and y (box_size) defaults to (1.0, 1.0). The flat_copy() method of an IPKISS i3.Box will return a Boundary element if a rotation is present and an ElementList object otherwise. A Box in GDSII format is defined via 5 vertices, the first and last being identical. If a rotation is present, an IPKISS i3.Box will be exported to GDSII as a (rotated) Boundary element and as a (GDSII) Box otherwise. If a rotated GDSII Box (edges not aligned with X/Y axes) is encountered on import, a warning is thrown and it is imported as Boundary element instead.
