+This example demonstrates the use of pcb-tools with cairo to render a composite
+image from a set of gerber files. Each layer is loaded and drawn using a
+GerberCairoContext. The color and opacity of each layer can be set individually.
+Once all thedesired layers are drawn on the context, the context is written to
+a .png file.
