Layers

There are three kinds of layers, normal layers, grid layers and guide layers.

Normal layers and guide layers can contain other objects. All objects defined after a layer function are part of that layer. A layer is implicitly closed by another layer function or the end of file.

The layer functions:

layer(name, visible, printable, locked, outlined, outline_color)

Start a normal layer named name (a string). The booleans visible,printable, locked and outlined determine whether the layer is visible, printable, locked or only shown outlined.

outline_color defines the color used for the outlines of the objects in the layer.

grid(geometry)

Define the grid-layer. The geometry is a tuple of the form (xorig, yorig, xwidth, ywidth)

guidelayer(name, visible, printable, locked, outlined, outline_color)

Start the guide layer. The arguments are the same as for the normal layer, but the arguments printable and outlined will be ignored and set to 0 and 1 respectively.
