Pack a list of components into as few Components as possible.

Parameters:
  • component_list – list or tuple.

  • spacing – Minimum distance between adjacent shapes.

  • aspect_ratio – (width, height) ratio of the rectangular bin.

  • max_size – Limits the size into which the shapes will be packed.

  • sort_by_area – Pre-sorts the shapes by area.

  • density – Values closer to 1 pack tighter but require more computation.

  • precision – Desired precision for rounding vertex coordinates.

  • text – Optional function to add text labels.

  • text_prefix – for labels. For example. ‘A’ will produce ‘A1’, ‘A2’, …

  • text_mirror – if True mirrors text.

  • text_rotation – Optional text rotation.

  • text_offsets – relative to component size info anchor. Defaults to center.

  • text_anchors – relative to component (ce cw nc ne nw sc se sw center cc).

  • name_prefix – for each packed component (avoids the Unnamed cells warning). Note that the suffix contains a uuid so the name will not be deterministic.

  • rotation – optional component rotation in degrees.

  • h_mirror – horizontal mirror in y axis (x, 1) (1, 0). This is the most common.

  • v_mirror – vertical mirror using x axis (1, y) (0, y).

  • add_ports_prefix – adds prefix to port names. False adds suffix.

  • name_ports_with_component_name – if True uses component.name as unique id. False uses index.
