ARef¶
- class ipkiss3.all.ARef(reference, origin, period, n_o_periods, transformation=None, **kwargs)¶
Array reference: places the referenced layout view in a regular 2D array.
- Parameters
- n_o_periods: Tuple of <class ‘int’> and length == 2, required
Number of periods (Nx, Ny)
- period: Coord2, required
Period of the array (period_x, period_y)
- reference: _LayoutView, required
- origin: Coord2, optional
Origin of the array
- flatten: ( bool, bool_, bool or int ), optional
if True, it will insert the references elements on export, rather than the reference itself
- name: ( String that contains only alphanumeric characters from the ASCII set or contains _$<>. ASCII set is extended on PY3. ), optional, *None allowed*
Unique name of the instance within the scope of the View/Cell
- owner: ( _View ), optional, *None allowed*
link to the owner of the instance.In most cases this is automatically added by the _generate_instances method
- transformation: GenericNoDistortTransform, optional

The positions property gives the positions as a flat array of coordinates, which needs to be indexed in row, column format: position = aref.positions[row * ncolumns + column]
