A special note about units: Older versions of @code{pcb} used mils
(1/1000 inch) as the base unit; a value of 500 in the file meant
half an inch.  Newer versions uses a "high resolution" syntax,
where the base unit is 1/100 of a mil (0.000010 inch); a value of 500 in
the file means 5 mils.  As a general rule, the variants of each entry
listed below which use square brackets are the high resolution formats
and use the 1/100 mil units, and the ones with parentheses are the older
variants and use 1 mil units.  Note that when multiple variants
are listed, the most recent (and most preferred) format is the first
listed.

The square bracket syntax specifies only the enclosed values as high
resolution. Whenever child elements need high resolution, they have to
use square brackets on their own, as in this example:

@example  
   Symbol['!' 12]                       # 12 is a high resolution value
   (  # <--- this pair is only for grouping and can never be a square
           SymbolLine[0 4500 0 5000 8]  # high resolution
           SymbolLine(0   10 0   35 8)  # standard resolution
@end example

Symbolic and numeric flags (SFlags and NFlags) are described in
@ref{Object Flags}.

Coordinates of the center of the arc.
@item RadiusX RadiusY
The RadiusX and RadiusY, from the center to the edge (centerline of the

thus @math{2*RadiusX} by @math{2*RadiusY}.
@item Thickness
The width of the copper trace which forms the arc.
@item Clearance
The amount of space cleared around the arc when the line passes
through a polygon.  The clearance is added to the thickness to get the
thickness of the clear; thus the space between the arc and the polygon
is @math{Clearance/2} wide.
@item StartAngle
The angle of one end of the arc, in degrees.  In PCB, an angle of zero
points left (negative X direction), and 90 degrees points down
(positive Y direction).

counterclockwise.

Elements may contain pins, pads, element lines, element arcs,
attributes, and (for older elements) an optional mark.  Note that
element definitions that have the mark coordinates in the element
line, only support pins and pads which use relative coordinates.  The
pin and pad coordinates are relative to the mark.  Element definitions
which do not include the mark coordinates in the element line, may
have a Mark definition in their contents, and only use pin and pad
definitions which use absolute coordinates.

Encodes the layer grouping information.  Each group is separated by a
colon, each member of each group is separated by a comma.  Group
members are either numbers from @code{1}..@var{N} for each layer, and
the letters @code{c} or @code{s} representing the component side and
solder side of the board.  Including @code{c} or @code{s} marks that
group as being the top or bottom side of the board.

@table @var
@item LayerNum
The layer number.  Layers are numbered sequentially, starting with 1.
The last two layers (9 and 10 by default) are solder-side silk and
component-side silk, in that order. The two silk layers also mark top and
bottom side; the layer group where the solder-side silk layer is member in
is the solder side group. Analogous for the other side.
@item Name
The layer name.

For layout files predating layer flags the name also defines
the layer type in some situations. For example, a layer named @emph{outline}
was considered to be the layer defining the extents of the board.
@item Flags
Layer flags. Currently this is the layer type, like @emph{copper}, @emph{silk}
or @emph{outline}. For a complete list see layertype_name[] in layerflags.c.

With layer flags missing, the type of layer is guessed at load time, mostly by
the layer name. This mechanism ensures compatibility with older layouts.

The contents of the layer, which may include attributes, lines, arcs, rectangles,
text, and polygons.

@section Object Flags

Note that object flags can be given numerically (like @code{0x0147})
or symbolically (like @code{"found,showname,square"}.  Some numeric
values are reused for different object types.  The table below lists
the numeric value followed by the symbolic name.

@table @code
@item 0x0001 pin
If set, this object is a pin.  This flag is for internal use only.
@item 0x0002 via
Likewise, for vias.
@item 0x0004 found
If set, this object has been found by @code{FindConnection()}.
@item 0x0008 hole
For pins and vias, this flag means that the pin or via is a hole
without a copper annulus.
@item 0x0008 nopaste
For pads, set to prevent a solderpaste stencil opening for the
pad.  Primarily used for pads used as fiducials.
@item 0x0010 rat
If set for a line, indicates that this line is a rat line instead of a
copper trace.
@item 0x0010 pininpoly
For pins and pads, this flag is used internally to indicate that the
pin or pad overlaps a polygon on some layer.
@item 0x0010 clearpoly
For polygons, this flag means that pins and vias will normally clear
these polygons (thus, thermals are required for electrical
connection).  When clear, polygons will solidly connect to pins and
vias.
@item 0x0010 hidename
For elements, when set the name of the element is hidden.
@item 0x0020 showname
For elements, when set the names of pins are shown.
@item 0x0020 clearline
For lines and arcs, the line/arc will clear polygons instead of
connecting to them.
@item 0x0020 fullpoly
For polygons, the full polygon is drawn (i.e. all parts instead of only the biggest one).
@item 0x0040 selected
Set when the object is selected.
@item 0x0080 onsolder
For elements and pads, indicates that they are on the solder side.
@item 0x0080 auto
For lines and vias, indicates that these were created by the
autorouter.
@item 0x0100 square
For pins and pads, indicates a square (vs round) pin/pad.
@item 0x0200 rubberend
For lines, used internally for rubber band moves.
@item 0x0200 warn
For pins, vias, and pads, set to indicate a warning.
@item 0x0400 usetherm
Obsolete, indicates that pins/vias should be drawn with thermal
fingers.
@item 0x0400
Obsolete, old files used this to indicate lines drawn on silk.
@item 0x0800 octagon
Draw pins and vias as octagons.
@item 0x1000 drc
Set for objects that fail DRC.
@item 0x2000 lock
Set for locked objects.
@item 0x4000 edge2
For pads, indicates that the second point is closer to the edge.  For
pins, indicates that the pin is closer to a horizontal edge and thus
pinout text should be vertical.
@item 0x8000 marker
Marker used internally to avoid revisiting an object.
@item 0x10000 connected
If set, this object has been as physically connected by @code{FindConnection()}.

@table @code
@item 0x00001
Pinout displays pin numbers instead of pin names.
@item 0x00002
Use local reference for moves, by setting the mark at the beginning of
each move.
@item 0x00004
When set, only polygons and their clearances are drawn, to see if
polygons have isolated regions.
@item 0x00008
Display DRC region on crosshair.
@item 0x00010
Do all move, mirror, rotate with rubberband connections.
@item 0x00020
Display descriptions of elements, instead of refdes.
@item 0x00040
Display names of elements, instead of refdes.
@item 0x00080
Auto-DRC flag.  When set, PCB doesn't let you place copper that
violates DRC.
@item 0x00100
Enable 'all-direction' lines.
@item 0x00200
Switch starting angle after each click.
@item 0x00400
Force unique names on board.
@item 0x00800
New lines/arc clear polygons.
@item 0x01000
Crosshair snaps to pins and pads.
@item 0x02000
Show the solder mask layer.
@item 0x04000
Draw with thin lines.
@item 0x08000
Move items orthogonally.
@item 0x10000
Draw autoroute paths real-time.
@item 0x20000
New polygons are full ones.
@item 0x40000
Names are locked, the mouse cannot select them.
@item 0x80000
Everything but names are locked, the mouse cannot select anything else.
@item 0x100000
New polygons are full polygons.
@item 0x200000
When set, element names are not drawn.
