IC Layout Editor

Toped is a cross-platform IC layout editor supporting GDS, OASIS and CIF formats. It is an open source project licensed under the GNU General Public License. The project is under active development.

Toped is driven by a build-in script interpreter. The script is designed to code and facilitate the layout generation and is used also for configuration. Automatic session recovery, undo with unlimited depth and customizable GUI are among the product features.

Toped focuses on rendering speed and quality of the screen output. The project uses the full power of OpenGL in terms of speed as well as unrestricted number of colors and fill patterns.
