# EXAMPLE MATRIX FILE: Import Gerber and Drill files, then Output Realistic Photo Images of PCB bareboard
# Purpose: This example can be used to easily create an Online Gerber viewer.
#
# 1. Load Gerber and Drill Files.
# 2. Output a realistic photo images for PCB bareboard (both Top and Bottom).

# The OPTIONS Array (not required)
# The option fab-generate_border will ensure a border is generated, because this example does not include a border file.  
# Note:  It's always better practice to have a seperate gerber file with the border; and not rely solely on generate_border
#        More information about the \ref matrix-options-array OPTIONS array 
 
OPTIONS {
   fab-generate_border
}
 
 
# Important:  Placing a semi-colon ; at the end of either LAYER or COMPOSITE fields will 
#             allow you to assign LAYER_TYPE and the Drill Span without having to create LAYER arrays. 
#             It's a very useful feature for quickly creating MATRIX files.
