+gdstk (C++ library for manipulation of GDSII and OASIS files. )
+
+Gdstk (GDSII Tool Kit) is a C++ library for creation and
+manipulation of GDSII and OASIS files. It is also available as a
+Python module meant to be a successor to Gdspy. Key features for the
+creation of complex CAD layouts are included: Boolean operations on
+polygons (AND, OR, NOT, XOR) based on clipping algorithm, Polygon
+offset (inward and outward rescaling of polygons), Efficient
+point-in-polygon solutions for large array sets.
+Typical applications of Gdstk are in the fields of electronic chip
+design, planar lightwave circuit design, and mechanical engineering.
