  "@brief A processor for layout which distributes tasks over tiles\n"
  "\n"
  "The tiling processor executes one or several scripts on one or multiple layouts providing "
  "a tiling scheme. In that scheme, the processor divides the original layout into rectangular tiles "
  "and executes the scripts on each tile separately. The tiling processor allows to specify multiple, "
  "independent scripts which are run separately on each tile. It can make use of multi-core CPU's by "
  "supporting multiple threads running the tasks in parallel (with respect to tiles and scripts).\n"
  "\n"
  "Tiling a optional - if no tiles are specified, the tiling processing basically operates flat and "
  "parallelization extends to the scripts only.\n"
  "\n"
  "Tiles can be overlapping to gather input from neighboring tiles into the current tile. "
  "In order to provide that feature, a border can be specified which gives the amount by which "
  "the search region is extended beyond the border of the tile. To specify the border, use the "
  "\\TilingProcessor#tile_border method.\n"
  "\n"
  "The basis of the tiling processor are \\Region objects and expressions. Expressions are a built-in "
  "simple language to form simple scripts. Expressions allow access to the objects and methods built "
  "into KLayout. Each script can consist of multiple operations. Scripts are specified using \\TilingProcessor#queue.\n"
  "\n"
  "Input is provided to the script through "
  "variables holding a \\Region object each. From outside the tiling processor, input is specified "
  "with the \\TilingProcessor#input method. This method is given a name and a \\RecursiveShapeIterator object "
  "which delivers the data for the input. On the script side, a \\Region object is provided through a variable "
  "named like the first argument of the \"input\" method.\n"
  "\n"
  "Inside the script the following functions are provided:\n"
  "\n"
  "@ul\n"
  "@li\"_dbu\" delivers the database unit used for the computations @/li\n"
  "@li\"_tile\" delivers a region containing a mask for the tile (a rectangle) or nil if no tiling is used @/li\n"
  "@li\"_output\" is used to deliver output (see below) @/li\n"
  "@/ul\n"
  "\n"
  "Output can be obtained from the tiling processor by registering a receiver with a channel. A channel is basically "
  "a name. Inside the script, the name describes a variable which can be used as the first argument of the "
  "\"_output\" function to identify the channel. A channel is registers using the \\TilingProcessor#output method. "
  "Beside the name, a receiver must be specified. A receiver is either another layout (a cell of that), a report database "
  "or a custom receiver implemented through the \\TileOutputReceiver class.\n"
  "\n"
  "The \"_output\" function expects two or three parameters: one channel id (the variable that was defined by the name "
  "given in the output method call) and an object to output (a \\Region, \\Edges, \\EdgePairs or a geometrical primitive such "
  "as \\Polygon or \\Box). In addition, a boolean argument can be given indicating whether clipping at the tile shall be "
  "applied. If clipping is requested (the default), the shapes will be clipped at the tile's box.\n"
  "\n"
  "The tiling can be specified either through a tile size, a tile number or both. If a tile size is specified with the "
  "\\TilingProcessor#tile_size method, the tiling processor will compute the number of tiles required. If the tile "
  "count is given (through \\TilingProcessor#tiles), the tile size will be computed. If both are given, the tiling "
  "array is fixed and the array is centered around the original layout's center. If the tiling origin is given as well, "
  "the tiling processor will use the given array without any modifications.\n"
  "\n"
  "Once the tiling processor has been set up, the operation can be launched using \\TilingProcessor#execute.\n"
