June 8, 2026 · View on GitHub
The KLayout Productivity Suite is a collection of plugins developed by the Department for Integrated Circuits (ICD), Johannes Kepler University (JKU) to enhance your layout design productivity.
For more details, see the documentation.
This add-on acts as a meta-package that can be installed in KLayout's Package Manager. Once installed, it automatically pulls in all the plugins as dependencies through the grain.xml.
