A simple gerber
parser written in rust to be used with the gerber-types
crate.
use std::fs::File;
use std::io::{BufRead, BufReader};
use gerber_parser::parser::parse_gerber;
// open a .gbr file from system
let file = File::open(path).unwrap();
let reader = BufReader::new(file);
// Now we parse the file to a GerberDoc
let gerber_doc: GerberDoc = parse_gerber(reader);
// it is possible to convert to an 'atomic' representation purely
// in terms of Vec<Command> of the gerber-types crate
let commands:Vec<Command> = gerber_doc.to_commands();

Partial:
- The
TF
andTA
commands only support a limited range of arguments; custom attributes will result in an error
In addition, comments in the header section of the file (i.e. unit type declaration, format specification and aperture declarations) will be placed below the header when the parsed Gerber is converted back to string via serialisation.
- Make parsing a bit cleaner, with
Result
- Reduce the number of panics
- Make error messages clearer (avoid plain unwraps in places where errors can realistically occur)
- Do proper coordinate check (compatibility with
format specification
)
