How to customize the top cell name

[davidshi2021]

Hi, anyone could please help to tell me how to change the top cell name “nazca” to a different cell name? A default “nazca” cell name will be automatically created after “import nazca as nd” is executed. Thank you very much!

Best regards,

David

Dear David,

The advised way to export an explicit topcell is to specify it in export_gds() like

import nazca as nd

with nd.Cell("mycellname") as MYCELL:
    #stuff

nd.export_gds(topcells=MYCELL)

The keyword “topcells” can also take a list of cells, in such case effectively creating a gds library.

It is possible to change the default “nazca” name, but there is no real need for that:
nd.cfg.defaultcellname = "NAZCA"
