Circles #4

I am having issues creating a circle using this library. How do I put a circle into Klayout using this library?

gdsii_arc can make full circles

Thank you,

Looking at the code and provided examples, you do not seem to have any structures that use gdsii_arc.

1) Are there any other examples where someone used gdsii_arc? 2) To my understanding, the gdsii_arc saves a gdsii struct with points, and cannot plot the same way the makerect command does. Is there a way to plot the points from the gdsii_arc?

To answer @Automachef : if you look in Functions/Basic/PlaceArc.m you will see that use

gds_element('boundary', 'xy', points)

You can essentially give a series of point coordinates x,y to trace any element shape your might want.
