busConfigArguments

The OptoDesigner bus-router simplifies complex (delay based) routing. It needs a few different BBs to be setup per PDK, which can be generic waveguide curves also.
For the argument/order you can look in the /*default:*/ below, which shows the curve that is used if you do not overrule it. wwg is the configured waveguide width for the bus.
 // create straight in some way, must support a port/port spec via L=null
 abstract layout straight(double L nullable UnitInfo "micron") TexDoc "Create a straight waveguide";
    /*default:*/ ml::Straight( cin->this@in0,cout->this@out0 : wfix(wwg), L == null?null:max(0,L));

 // create taper in some way, L=null allows sub-class to spec it
 abstract layout taperToBus(double win UnitInfo "micron",double L nullable UnitInfo "micron") TexDoc "Width taper";
    /*default:*/ ml::Straight( cin->this@in0,cout->this@out0 : wlin(win,wwg), L);

 // create taper in some way, L=null allows sub-class to spec it
 abstract layout taperFromBus(double wto UnitInfo "micron",double L nullable UnitInfo "micron") TexDoc "Width taper";
    /*default:*/ ml::Straight( cin->this@in0,cout->this@out0 : wlin(wwg,wto), L);

 // create 90deg bend in some way
 abstract layout bend90(int up RangeSpec[-2,2]) TexDoc "Manhattan bend style";
    /*default:*/ ml::BendPolar( cin->this@in0,cout->this@out0 : wfix(wwg), wwr, up*90);

 // create some bend
 abstract layout bend(double r UnitInfo "micron",double a UnitInfo "Degree") TexDoc "General bend";
    /*default:*/ ml::BendPolar( cin->this@in0,cout->this@out0 : wfix(wwg),r,a);
 

The string data is the argument for the PDK bb element based on the mapping from above. In addition to the (very few) arguments of the layout's above, you can use:
 final function getWidth()  TexDoc "Return width"
final function getRadius() TexDoc "Return radius"
final function getDistance() TexDoc "Return wg/wg distance"
final function getDistanceCenterCenter() TexDoc "Center - center distance of 2 waveguides"
final function getTaperAngle() TexDoc "Return default angle for tapers"

For the busConfigElement arguments: L,win,wbus

Structure

This element is simple - it does not have attributes or elements. The text that fills up the ... is value used.
