NAME
     gdsreader - simple Calma parser/printer tool

SYNTAX
     gdsreader [-h|--help]

     gdsreader	[-i|--ifile <filename>]  [-H|--hpglfile <filename>] [-p|--psfile
     <filename>]   [-v|--povfile   <filename>]	 [-c|--configfile    <filename>]
     [-s|--struct <filename>]

DESCRIPTION
     This  program  produces  HPGL, PS, and POVRAY scene files from Calma (GDS2)
     files.  To do this it requires a configuration file  supplied by  the  user
     describing the GDS layers and the preferences as to how they be drawn.

OPTIONS
     -h, --help:	      prints this help text

     -H, --hpglfile "file":   opens "file" for writing HPGL (defaults to re-
     sult.plt)

     -p, --psfile "file":     opens "file" for writing PostScript (defaults to
     result.ps)

     -v, --povfile "file":     opens "file" for writing POVRAY (defaults to re-
     sult.pov)

     -i, --ifile "file":      opens "file" as the GDSii input file (if not spec-
     ified, stdin is used)

     -c, --configfile "file": opens "file" as the layers definition file (de-
     faults to .layers.config)

     -s, --struct "sname":    "sname" is the top cell to be printed (if not
     specified, the names of all structures and layers are written to stdout.
     No PS/HPGL/POV files are generated)

FILES
     result.*, *.gds, layers.config

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
     NONE   No special Environment variables

EXAMPLES
     To run this program the standard way type:

     gdsreader -i mygdsfile.gds -c mylayers.config

     (This would produce result.ps, result.plt, and result.pov)

     In  the  install  directory,  under doc/gdsreader, there should be a sample
     test.gds and layers.config file.  The  layers.config  file  should  contain
     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.
