kqcircuits.util.library_helper¶
Helper module for building KLayout libraries.
Typical usage example:
from kqcircuits.elements.airbridges import Airbridge
from kqcircuits.util.library_helper import load_libraries
load_libraries(path=Airbridge.LIBRARY_PATH)
cell = Airbridge.create(layout, **kwargs)
- kqcircuits.util.library_helper.load_libraries(flush=False, path='')[source]¶
Load all KQCircuits libraries from the given path.
- Parameters
flush – If True, old libraries will be deleted and new ones created. Otherwise old libraries will be used. (if old libraries exist)
path – path (relative to SRC_PATH) from which the pcell classes and cells are loaded to libraries
- Returns
A dictionary of libraries that have been loaded, keys are library names and values are libraries.
- kqcircuits.util.library_helper.delete_all_libraries()[source]¶
Delete all KQCircuits libraries from KLayout memory.
- kqcircuits.util.library_helper.delete_library(name=None)[source]¶
Delete a KQCircuits library.
Calls library.delete() and removes the library from _kqc_libraries dict. Also deletes any libraries which have this library as a dependency.
- Parameters
name – name of the library
- kqcircuits.util.library_helper.to_module_name(class_name=None)[source]¶
Converts class name to module name.
Converts PascalCase class name to module name with each word lowercase and separated by space.
- Parameters
class_name – Class name.
- Returns
A lowercase and spaced by word string.
- For example::
> module_name = _to_module_name(“QualityFactor”) > print(module_name) “quality_factor”
- kqcircuits.util.library_helper.to_library_name(class_name=None)[source]¶
Converts class name to library name.
Converts PascalCase class name to library name with each word titled and separated by space. Single letter words are attached to the following word.
- Parameters
class_name – Class name.
- Returns
A titled and spaced by word string which may be used as library name.
- For example::
> library_name = to_library_name(“QualityFactor”) > print(library_name) “Quality Factor”
