padne.gerber
============

.. py:module:: padne.gerber

.. autoapi-nested-parse::

   Gerber file to Shapely geometry conversion.

   This lives in its own module (rather than padne.kicad) so that
   parallel.process_map workers can import it without paying for the heavy
   pcbnew import that padne.kicad performs at module load time.

Module Contents
---------------

.. py:data:: log

.. py:function:: ensure_geometry_is_multipolygon(geometry: Union[shapely.geometry.Polygon, shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon]) -> shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon

   Convert Polygon to MultiPolygon if needed, ensuring consistent interface.


.. py:function:: render_with_shapely(gerber_data: pygerber.gerber.api.GerberFile) -> shapely.geometry.base.BaseGeometry

.. py:function:: gerber_file_to_shapely(gerber_path: pathlib.Path) -> Optional[shapely.geometry.MultiPolygon]

   Loads data from a Gerber file and converts it to a Shapely geometry.
