NAME
       maptolayer - Utility to generate layers.config files

SYNTAX
       maptolayer < 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.

OPTIONS
       NONE

FILES
       NONE

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       NONE   No special Environment variables

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.
