SingleSpiral

class picazzo3.wg.spirals.cell.SingleSpiral

Single spiral class going from the inside to the outside. The trace template provided in the property trace_template is used to build a chain of waveguides.

Parameters:

n_o_loops: int and number > 0

Number of loops in the spiral

trace_template: PCell and _TraceTemplate

Trace template used in the chain.

name: String that contains only ISO/IEC 8859-1 (extended ASCII py3) or pure ASCII (py2) characters

The unique name of the pcell

Other Parameters:

n_o_traces: int and number > 0, locked

Total number of traces used in the spiral.

traces: List with type restriction, allowed types: <class ‘ipkiss3.pcell.cell.pcell.PCell’>, locked

Views

class Layout

Parameters:

shapes: list

List of shapes used to build the traces

flatten: ( bool, bool_ or int )

If true the instances are flattened

inner_size: Coord2 and number >= 0

Inner size of the the spiral, defaults to 3 * spacing + 2 * bend_radius, in each direction

view_name: String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$. ASCII set is extended on PY3.

The name of the view

spacing: float and Real, number and number >= 0

spacing between the individual loops.

spiral_center: Coord2

location of the center of the spiral.

Other Parameters:

auto_transform: locked
