photonforge.stencil.vernier_scale(unit, marker_length, marker_width, divider=10, gap=0, triangular_marker=False)

Create a Vernier scale.

Parameters:

  • unit – Distance between markers in the main scale.

  • marker_length – Length of the scale markers.

  • marker_width – Width of the scale markers.

  • divider – Divider used for the secondary scale. The Vernier constant will be unit / divider (scale readability).

  • gap – Distance between the main and secondary scales.

  • triangular_marker – Flag indicating the use of triangular markers.

Returns:

Tuple with 2 list of structures.

scale_1um = vernier_scale(15, 10, 2)

scale_2um = vernier_scale(15, 10, 2, divider=5, gap=-2, triangular_marker=True)
