Nested Cells

[smartalecH]

Is it possible to nest cells using gdspy? I've poured over the documentation/examples but haven't found any explicit reference to nesting or cell hierarchy.

I'm building a library of function components that return cells. I would like more complex cells to call simpler cell routines. The GDS format obviously works really well with this recursive framework.

@smartalecH Indeed hierarchical structures is one of the strong points of GDSII. You can nest cells in Gdspy using CellReference and CellArray.

The tutorial has examples of both.

The link to the tutorial is broken now. I believe these are the examples now.
