XGDSPLOT converts GDSII data into plot data for large format color or monochrome plotters. All vector to raster computation is done on the workstation - the plotter's CPU and memory is not used. With today's powerful 64 vit workstations even the largest chip layouts can be plotted quickly.

  

XGDSPLOT handles very large files by subdividing the plot area into a series of smaller stripes depending on the workstation's available RAM. Each portion of the page that is plotted is called a "band." The band size is determined by the overall page width and the amount of RAM available to store raster data for that band.
