Python library for rendering RS274X gerber PCB files as svgs or pdfs.
The easiest way to install pandas is to install it via pip from PyPI.
Officially Python 3.6 and above.
pip install gerber-renderer

board = Gerber.Board(file=file_path, max_height=XXX, verbose=True)
file: string representing the relative path to the root folder
containing
the gerber files
max_height: integer representing the maximum height (in pixels) of
the
rendered svg (default=500px)
verbose: outputs info about the current progress to the terminal
(default=False)
board.render(output=output_path)
output: string representing the relative path to the root folder to save the svg files to
board.render_pdf(output=output_path, layer='top_copper', color='white', scale_compensation=0.0, full_page=True, mirrored=True, offset=(0, 0))
output: string representing the relative path to the root folder
to save the svg files to
layer: string representing the layer to be rendered on the pdf
(default='top_copper') [options: copper, mask, silk]
color: string representing the color of the PDF (default='white') [white
renders negative of layer for exposing]
scale_compensation: float representing the percent change in size [+0.05
= 5% bigger] (default=0.0) [needed for some printers]
full_page: boolean, when True a full A4 sized PDF is rendered
(default=False)
mirrored: boolean, when True the output PDF will be mirrored
(default=False)
offset: tuple of floats (X,Y). The rendered PDF will be offset by (X,Y)
pixels (default=(0,0))
