Traces and Trace Templates¶
Both waveguides and electrical traces are built using trace templates. Here is a selection of the Tracetemplates for both waveguides and electrical traces.
Optical waveguides and waveguide templates¶
Most waveguides can be built using windows. A window is a cross-section in a gdsii layer. By defining several windows the cross section of the waveguide can be defined.

Electrical traces and trace templates¶
-
class
ipkiss3.pcell.wiring.window_trace.ElectricalWindowWireTemplate(*args, **kwargs)¶ An advanced trace template that is used to define electrical wires using ‘windows’. These windows will be extruded extruded along the shape of the wire

This trace template is only useful in more advanced usecases. When you want to create simple wires, ElectricalWireTemplate should be sufficient.
