        Abstract
        --------
        
        A Python library to create DXF R12 drawings.
        
        a simple example::
        
            from dxfwrite import DXFEngine as dxf
            drawing = dxf.drawing('test.dxf')
            drawing.add(dxf.line((0, 0), (10, 0), color=7))
            drawing.add_layer('TEXTLAYER', color=2)
            drawing.add(dxf.text('Test', insert=(0, 0.2), layer='TEXTLAYER')
            drawing.save()
        
        supported DXF R12 entities
        --------------------------
        
         * ARC
         * ATTDEF
         * ATTRIB
         * BLOCK
         * CIRCLE
         * 3DFACE
         * INSERT
         * LINE
         * POINT
         * POLYLINE (special Polyface and Polymesh objects are available)
         * SHAPE (not tested)
         * SOLID
         * TRACE
         * TEXT
         * VERTEX (only for internal use, see Polyline, Polyface and Polymesh objects)
         * VIEWPORT
        
        not supported DXF R12 entities
        ------------------------------
        
         * DIMENSION
        
        emulated entities from DXF R13 and later
        ----------------------------------------
        
         * MTEXT (R13) ... emulated as composite entity MText
         * ELLIPSE (R13) ... approximated by Ellipse
         * SPLINE (R13) ... approximated by Spline
         * LWPOLYLINE (R13) ... use POLYLINE
         * TABLE (R2005) ... emulated as composite entity Table
        
        composite entities
        ------------------
        
         * MText -- multi-line text
         * LinearDimension
         * AngularDimension
         * ArcDimension
         * RadialDimension
         * Table -- text and blockrefs containing table like a HTML-table
         * Ellipse -- approximated as POLYLINE
         * Spline -- cubic spline curve through breakpoints **without** additional control
           points, approximated as POLYLINE
         * Bezier -- cubic bezier curve through breakpoints **with** additional control
           points, approximated as POLYLINE
         * Clothoid -- Euler spiral, approximated as POLYLINE
        
        read/write AutoCAD ctb-files
        ----------------------------
        
        The module ``acadctb`` provides the ability to read and write AutoCAD ctb-files.
        With ctb-files you can assign a new color or lineweight to a dxf-color-index for
        plotting or printing, but this has to be supported by the used application.
        
        a simple example::
        
            from dxfwrite import acadctb
            ctb = acadctb.load('test.ctb')
            style1 = ctb.get_style(1) # dxf color index (1 .. 255)
            style1.set_color(23, 177, 68) # set rgb values (0..255)
            style1.set_lineweight(0.7)
            ctb.save('new.ctb')
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        with pip::
        
            pip install dxfwrite
        
        or from source::
        
            python setup.py install
