Layers config

layers is an array, each layer is an item of the layers.

	 "layers":[
		"1~TopLayer~#FF0000~true~true~true",
		"2~BottomLayer~#0000FF~true~false~true",
		"3~TopSilkLayer~#FFFF00~true~false~true",

		"24~Inner4~#000080~false~false~false"
	]

Format:

1. layer id: 1
2. layer name: TopLayer
3. layer color: #FF0000
4. visible: true, hints the objects in this layer show or hide
5. active: false. active layer
6. config: true. if be set false, you can't see it on the layer toolbar.

Preference

	"preference":{
	    "hideFootprints":"gge118~gge221~gge227~gge233",
	    "hideNets":"BSYNC~DREQ~GPIO0~MICP~GND"
	}

hideFootprints : when the id of the footprints in here, you can't see them on canvas. hideNets : when the net name in here, you can't see them on canvas, you can hide the ratline at here too. There are some guys would like to hide then GND ratline, then use copper area to connect all the GND pad.

DRC Rule

	 "DRCRULE":{
		"trackWidth":0.7,
		"track2Track":0.7,
		"pad2Pad":0.8,
		"track2Pad":0.8,
		"hole2Hole":1,
		"holeSize":1.6
	}

trackWidth: 0.7 (7 mil) track width track2Track: 0.7 (7 mil) track to track distance pad2Pad: 0.8(8 mil) pad to pad distance track2Pad: 0.8(8 mil) track to pad distance hole2Hole: 1(10 mil) hole to hole distance holeSize: 1.6(16 mil) hole diameter

This is a simple DRC, more later.

Shapes

The shape is an array. EasyEDA store various shape in this field, they are different with a command which locate at the begin of the string.

	"shape":[
	    "TRACK~1~1~S$19~311 175 351 175 352 174~gge18",
	    "PAD~ELLIPSE~329~185~6~6~11~~1~1.8~~0~gge20",
	    "VIA~329~202~3.2~~0.8~gge23",
	    "COPPERAREA~2px~1~GND~349 247 492 261 457 314 339 329~1~solid~gge27~spoke~none~[]",
	    "SOLIDREGION~1~~350 146 483 146 447 228 371 220~solid~gge26"
	]

Unit

EasyEDA takes 10 mil as a basic factor, when a stroke width is 1, we can take it as 1*10mil = 10mil, is 2, we can take it as 2*10mil = 20mil
