SYNTAXmaptolayer < gdctocds.map > layers.config
DESCRIPTION
This program produces reads a Cadence kit gdstocds.map file on standard
input and produces a simple layers.config file suitable for use with
the gdsreader program. The layers.config file will have all the layers
hidden and will have a unique color and depth generated for each. The
user must unhide layers, (hidden no), and set desired thickness and
depth info if POVRAY output is desired.

EXAMPLES
To run this program the standard way type:
maptolayer < gdctocds.map > layers.config
(This would produce a layers.config file ready for editing.)
In the install directory, under doc/gdsreader-VERSION, there should be
a sample test.gds and layers.config file. Read the documentation there
for details about the gdsreader program. The layers.config file should
contains layer descriptions of the form:
[...]
newlayer
gdsno 15
hidden no
name Ndiff
red 0.9
green 0.1
blue 0.9
fill no
hatch no
thickness 0.1
depth -0.02
endlayer
[...]
The depth and thickness parameters are only used for povray output.
