Most users import the module directly; specific submodules may vary.

Basic usage: import doweb to activate KLayout backend, create a gdsfactory component, and export to GDS.

import gdsfactory as gf import doweb # Create a simple component c = gf.Component('test') c.add_polygon([(0,0), (10,0), (10,10), (0,10)], layer=0) c.write_gds('test.gds') print('GDS written with doweb backend')
