Tools to handle Gerber and Excellon files in Python.

Usage Example:
---------------

```py
import gerber
from gerber.render import GerberCairoContext

# Read gerber and Excellon files
top_copper = gerber.read('example.GTL')
nc_drill = gerber.read('example.txt')

# Rendering context
ctx = GerberCairoContext()

# Create SVG image
top_copper.render(ctx)
nc_drill.render(ctx, 'composite.svg')
```

Rendering Examples:
-------------------
### Top Composite rendering
![Composite Top Image](examples/cairo_example.png)
![Composite Bottom Image](examples/cairo_bottom.png)

Source code for this example can be found [here](examples/cairo_example.py).


Install from source:
```
$ git clone https://github.com/curtacircuitos/pcb-tools.git
$ cd pcb-tools
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py install
```

Development and Testing:
------------------------

Dependencies for developing and testing pcb-tools are listed in requirements-dev.txt. Use of a virtual environment is strongly recommended.

    $ virtualenv venv
    $ source venv/bin/activate
    (venv)$ pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
    (venv)$ pip install -e .

We use [pytest](https://docs.pytest.org/en/latest/) to run pcb-tools's suite of unittests and doctests.

    (venv)$ pytest
