PCB Tools Intro
==================
    
PCB CAM (Gerber) Files
------------

PCB design files (artwork) are most often stored in `Gerber` files. This is
a generic term that may refer to `RS-274X (Gerber) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_format>`_,
`ODB++ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODB%2B%2B>`_, or `Excellon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excellon_format>`_
files.


PCB-Tools
------------

The gerber-tools module provides tools for working with and rendering Gerber
and Excellon files.
