num_pts: number of points comprising the entire step geometry.
width_tol: Point at which to terminate the calculation of the optimal step

the structure and reducing the curvature
symmetric: If True, adds a mirrored copy of the step across the x-axis to the
geometry and adjusts the width of the ports.
layer: layer spec to put polygon geometry on.
