Alternatively, a zip archive is provided that contains all the required executables and DLLs. It is possible to run KLayout directly from these files after extracting the archive.The KLayout executable is "klayout_app.exe".Using the .zip archive is the recommended way to try KLayout without contaminating the system.
The "klayout-bits4msvc2017" project ( _bits4msvc2017) targets towards providing a binary distribution for this purpose. See the release notes there for download links. Download the .zip archive from there and unpack it to some folder, e.g. "c:\klayout-bits".
The 3rd party bits kit can also be used to build the Python standalone package on setuptools. Specify the full path to the 3rd party package up to the compiler and architecture. On 64bit with the bits package installed in "c:\klayout-bits" the build call is this:
If you want to use the PyPI module that's an entirely different topic. This is for using KLayout's algorithms inside an external Python installation. Windows does not come with a nice package manager such as Linux, so Python distributions such as Anaconda exist entirely independent from KLayout and they don't know of each other. A PyPI module is called "klayout.db" for example. "pya" was too generic for wide deployment.
Recently updated to windows 11.
Layout has a strange bug where I cannot add any folder locations in the Preferences > Folders window.
If I click on the + icon I get the browse for folder popup window but it is blank with only a single folder called desktop. Refer the attached image.

Finally, you have to point KLayout to the MSYS installation. You can set KLAYOUT_PYTHONPATH to mirror the path from MSYS2's Python3 installation. Or you can permanently configure KLayout to use the new installation by editing ".python-paths.txt" next to "klayout_app.exe" (in C:/Users/matthias/AppData/Roaming/KLayout in my case). This is how this file needs to look like after I have installed MSYS/MINGW64 in the default location (c:/msys2-x86_64):
I guessed that the platform plugin file reported in the error message has to be the qwindows.dll file which exist in C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms\qwindows.dll
so I added %anaconda%\Library\plugins\platforms the $Path environment variable right after %anaconda%\Library\bin yet the error still shows.
Finally I installed the binary Klayout on the same machine from the installer to make sure there is no issue in the environment, and was able to use the installed Klayout without errors. However I need to build klayout from the source as I might add customization to the source code.
Regarding your technical question: the Windows .zip find should contain all you need for Windows. Just unpack the .zip on your drive and double-click klayout.exe on the target system. You won't get the file associations however, but the program should start right away.
that environment variable is the reason behind the behaviour of the palette. "SingleWindow" will give you a LSW like Palette (like in the old IC5.1.41 version). Non dockable, stays up even if the layout closes, shared with all open layout windows.
What you probably looking for is setting that variable to: "SingleAssistant"or "MultiAssistant".
Set it before you start the virtuoso session, it wont have any effect on a running session.
Small but somewhat annoying issue:
On the windows version 0.26 & 0.27 the layers panel will sometimes get very wide and take a large portion of the monitor width. Any attempts to drag it to a smaller size fail.
For me on 0.26, when I start new Klayout window everything is OK, but if I load another design to a new panel then the layers panel becomes wide and is stuck at this wide size. Even if I close the additional panel it would not get smaller afterwards.
A peer of mine just installed 0.27 and it is starting a s a wide Layers panel to begin with.
Is this "stuck" behavior happening both when
"docked" and "floated"? For me both seem to
respond normally to drag-width. Maybe there
is something about the "auxiliary frame" that
holds the layers, navigator, et al that's got a
bad idea about size and overrides individual
windows that are snapped into it?
Hi,
Having recently moved from Windows to Ubuntu OS, I have several Python Pcell libraries that work perfectly and start with the Klayout windows edition startup.
Pcells, however, do not start automatically with Klayout startup since I moved to Ubuntu and using Klayout Ubuntu edition. I need to start them manually every time.
In all of these codes, there is a "# $autorun-early" at the beginning.
@ashkan If your code is in ".klayout" that is WRONG. It needs to go into "KLayout" instead of ".klayout" on Windows. More specifically, %HOME%\KLayout or c:\users\matthias\KLayout in my case (sorry, Markdown swallowed a few characters in my above reply).
@Matthias The problem is not in Windows.
As I told @dick_freebird I don't have any problem in Windows.
But in Ubuntu, my codes are in the .klayout but still are not available in the libraries.
1.) Please gain some evidence that the file really isn't executed. I may be executed, but the problem may be elsewhere, i.e. library registration is failing. Run Klayout with high verbosity ("klayout -d 31 .."). You will see messages like
@Matthias :
You are right: Python codes for Pcells (that work perfectly in klayout Windows os version) is not running at the startup in klayout Ubuntu version.
By running ("klayout -d 31 ..") I get errors which I attached to this comment.
@dick_freebird:
I have several folders inside ./klayout/pymacros but there are several files too.
None of them is run at the start-up. It doesn't matter if I put them in ./klayout. They are not running. However, when I put them in ./klayout directory, they do not appear even in the macro development section.
It would be very convienient to be able to simultaneously move in both the map and the layout windows in ArcGIS Pro just like you can between two maps (such as your 2D/3D maps). That way, I do not have to make a new layout map from my map window every time I move to a different area in my map window.
Features:
- Fixed: #1563 Duplicated Tabs in the Macro Development Tool
- Fixed: #1560 git+https package installation on windows fails
- Fixed: #1559 (partial) Move function not respecting some diagonals
- Fixed: #1549 Layout.error_layer now available in recursive shape search
- Fixed: #1542 KLayout crashes on exit
- Enhancement: #1535 Support pathlib.Path in Python API Implicitly converts objects to strings using "str(object)" (Python) or "object.to_s" (Ruby).
- Fixed: #1533 KLayout crashing with two consecutive calls of the same LayoutView::show_layout command
- Fixed: #1531 When symlinking a .def to a target without .def suffix, file can't be loaded
- Enhancement: #1530 polygon from 2 size tuple points The effect of this feature is pretty basic: tuples or lists are used as constructor arguments for implicitly creating an object in place of them. Hence, "(x,y)" can be used instead of a vector or a point. In some cases, this leads to ambiguities and the implicit resolution will fail however. Specifically a list of size-2 tuples can be passed to the "points" arguments of Polygon and Path.
- Enhancement: #1528 LEF: Implement LEF58_WIDTHTABLE
- Enhancement: new methods (D)Edge#euclidian_distance and (D)EdgePair#distance
- Fixed: package download dialog: mute an assertion, less questions for re-running macros
- Enhancement: reading $KLAYOUT_GIT_PROXY_HTTP for proxy URL in Git downloads
- Fixed: cheats were not enabled for edges and (implicit) polygon merges such as for "sized"
Fixed: more consistent behavior for Marker Browser / Scan Shapes:
- Scan Shapes Hierarchical will scan from current cell, not all cells
- Marker browser shows markers propertly also in descended mode
- Marker database description of shown in selection box
- Fixed: Search feature in macro editor does not jump back to first position
Fixed: "Trace All Nets":
- Asks for stack now in case of multiple stacks (previously: took that from "Trace Nets" dialog)
- Skips symbols which are not used (previously: extracted them as disconnected layers)
