copper module

Copper and Pour construction

This module provides classes for representing copper shapes and pours on board layers.

class Copper(shape, layer)

Bases: Structural

Copper element on a layer index.

Represents a copper element with a defined shape on a particular layer index. Can be combined with other copper elements to form nets.

>>> copper = Copper(Circle(diameter=2.0), layer=0)

Parameters:

• shape (Shape)

• layer (int)

shape: Shape

The geometric shape of the copper element.

layer: int

The layer index for this copper element.

class Pour(shape, layer, *, isolate=0, rank=0, orphans=True)

Bases: Copper

Copper pour is a filled copper element with isolation and priority settings.

>>> self.gnd = Net()
>>> self.gnd += Pour(Circle(diameter=10.0), layer=0, rank=1)

Parameters:

• shape (Shape)

• layer (int)

• isolate (float)

• rank (int)

• orphans (bool)

isolate: float

Isolation distance from other features in millimeters.

rank: int = 0

Pour priority rank with higher ranks being prioritized.

orphans: bool = True

Whether to include orphaned copper areas.
