Tools to handle Gerber and Excellon files in Python.

Usage Example:
---------------
    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).
