access ports by name #126

Closed joamatab closed 1 year ago

joamatab commented 1 year ago

in gdsfactory you can access ports from cells and instances using

c.ports['o1'] or c['o1']

However in kfactory Kcells, this can be used to access instances (not as frequently accessed compared to ports) How about accessing instances with c.instances['wg1']?

Fixed by #127

Accessing instances by name is already possible
