PyGerber’s Python API

PyGeber, despite having rather exhaustive command line interface, still has some public functionalities that can be only accessed via Python code.

Efforts have been made to ensure anything possible via CLI can be done with similar ease in code, and we have impression that this goal was achieved so far.

Important thing to mention before diving deeper into this part of documentation, is
that you wont find here any description of internal API of PyGerber, nothing
about parser, tokenizer and other internals. Documentation for such things
has not been made, and the need for one has not been reported yet.

We will describe APIs for 2D and 3D rendering separately, even though in CLI, they are pretty much identical and their APIs doesn’t differ much too, however they use different config file structure and are contained in different files, therefore we decided to put emphasis on their separateness.

• 2D rendering API
  • Single-file 2D rendering
  • Multi-file file 2D rendering
• 3D rendering API
  • Single-file 3D rendering
  • Multi-file file 3D rendering
