I think we need a separate function for this

for routing a group of routes, the following routers seem more promising - https://codeberg.org/LibrEDA/mycelium-router/src/branch/main/src - https://codeberg.org/tok/librecell/src/branch/master/librecell-layout/lclayout/graphrouter - https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/TritonRoute/ - https://github.com/The-OpenROAD-Project/OpenROAD/blob/master/src/grt/README.md

https://github.com/gdsfactory/gdsfactory/issues/442 is also related to this

thank you Alex, it looks good, I fixed some more tests Another alternative is to create an intermediate format (such as shapely) and use klayout to read and write gds...

For example, the VLSIR project uses protocol buffers as an intermediate representation, and it has a rust package from converting to procol buffer to GDS https://github.com/dan-fritchman/Layout21/issues/22

sounds like a good plan. so we can start building Sparameter models for waveguides and couplers the idea would be to return a Sax model for Silicon and Silicon Nitride,...

Yes, and we can benchmark the sparameters that the model predicts with FDTD simulations and measurements

Hi Proppy! i agree what do you think of adding this as the gdsfactory Component.plot()?

[SiEPIC tools connectivity check](https://gdsfactory.github.io/gdsfactory/notebooks/_2_klayout.html#Klayout-connectivity-checks) is too slow for big layouts How about transition to the netlist browser from klayout? https://github.com/austinapatel/KLayout-Connection-Validator https://www.klayout.de/forum/discussion/2089/connectivity-based-stamping-check @thomasdorch @mabrains @klayoutmatthias

the use model is to support an analog/photonics flow where you can write PCells in python See [gdsfatory docs](https://gdsfactory.github.io/gdsfactory/README.html) A python API for OpenRoad will increase many other use cases...
