How to replace circle polygon with square polygon?

[zydanielw]

Dear klayout admin, I read in a flatten GDS. There are so many circuit polygons with 16 segments, but I would like to replace all of them with square polygon. How to do that in klayout?

Best Regards, Daniel

Hi Daniel @zydanielw,

Since this site is for bug tracking, I think the KLayout Forum https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussions is the right place to post this kind of question. Nevertheless, here is my idea T614.zip in PYA.

Just for your information. Best regards, Kazzz-S

Hi Kazzz-S

Sorry, I am totally new with Github and klayout. For some reason, I registered a new account in KLayout Forum yesterday, but that system doesn't allow me to post anything there. Anyway, thanks for the solution. I really appreciate.

Best Regards, Daniel

Hi Daniel,

No problem. I was also a novice in the beginning (maybe even now. KLayout is technically so deep!).

, but that system doesn't allow me to post anything there.

I think your problem with the Forum is due to this. Please wait.

Best regards, Kazzz-S
