# Gerber (RS-274X or Extended Gerber) is a bilevel, resolution independent image format.

# // graphic objects
# // draw: line segment, thickness, round or square line endings. (solid circle and rectangule apertures only)
# // arc: circular arc, thickness, round endings. (solid circle standard aperture only)
# // flash: replication of a given apertura (shape)
# // region: are defined by a countour (linear/arc segments.)
#
# // draw/arc: can have zero length (just flash the aperture)
# // flash: any aperture can be flashed
#
# // operation codes operates on coordinate data blocks. each operation code is for one coordinate data block pair and vice-versa.
# // D01: stroke an aperture from current point to coordinate pair. region mode off. lights-on move.
# // D02: move current point to this coordinate pair
# // D03: flash current aperture at this coordinate pair.
#
# // graphics state
# // all state controlled by codes and parameters, except current point
# //
# // state				fixed?		initial value
# // coordinate format	fixed		undefined
# // unit					fixed		undefined
# // image polarity		fixed		positive
# // steps/repeat			variable	1,1,-,-
# // level polarity		variable	dark
# // region mode			variable	off
# // current aperture		variable	undefined
# // quadrant mode		variable	undefined
# // interpolation mode	variable	undefined
# // current point		variable	(0,0)
#
# // attributes: metadata, both standard and custom. No change on image.

# // G01: linear
