class gdsfactory.ComponentReference(inst: Instance)

Shadows dbu attributes of Instance for backward compatibility.

DO NOT USE THIS AND PASS IT TO ANY FUNCTION REQUIRING kf.Instance.

__init__(inst: Instance) → None

Initializes a ComponentReference.

dmirror_y([y])	Mirror the instance at an y-axis.
dmove(origin[, destination])	Move the instance in dbu.
dmovex(origin[, destination])	Move the instance in x-direction in um.
dmovey(origin[, destination])	Move the instance in y-direction in um.
drotate(angle[, center])	Rotate instance in degrees.
flatten([levels])	Flatten all or just certain instances.
mirror([p1, p2])	Mirror the instance at a line.
mirror_x([x])	Mirror the instance at an y-axis at position x.
mirror_y([y])	Mirror the instance at an x-axis at position y.
move(origin[, destination])	Move the instance in dbu.
movex(origin[, destination])	Move the instance in x-direction in dbu.
movey(origin[, destination])	Move the instance in y-direction in dbu.
rotate(angle[, center])	Rotate instance in increments of 90°.
to_yaml(representer, node)	Convert the instance to a yaml representation.
