This library allows to read and write Gerber and Excellon DRL files as well as render them into BufferedImage.
Pending features:
- merging multiple Gerber batches (all layers) into one (nesting)
- adding mouse-bites features into merged Gerber
Read Gerber file:
var reader = new GerberReader(new FileInputStream(fileName)); var gerber = reader.read("Copper Back Title");Read Excellon file:
var drlReader = new ExcellonReader(new FileInputStream(fileName)); var drl = drlReader.read("Top through holes");Render Gerber layer with drilled holes into PNG:
void render() { var scale = 0.02; // One millimeter is 50px var renderer = new BufferedImageRenderer(scale); renderer.render(gerber, Color.ORANGE); renderer.render(drl, Color.WHITE); var image = renderer.getImage(); ImageIO.write(image, "png", new File("rendered.png")); }This software is in development, use it on your own risk.
