Cifsave: Save Spiral Geometry into CIF Format

CIFSave <spiral> <filename> (<scale> <res> <box|poly|wire>)

Aliases: cifsave,savecif,cifout,cif

<spiral>: spiral to save
<filename>: filename to save to
<scale>: scale can either be > 1 or < 1
<res>: resolution of data (see below)
<box|poly|wire>: use boxes, polygons, or wires

The CIF format (Caltech Interchange Format) is an ASCII format that holds the geometry data representing a layout. The format works with strictly integer numbers so all floating point numbers are converted to integers by multiplying each number by <res>. Typically <res> = 100 for two decimal places of resolution.

In ASITIC all structures are represented by four vertices and thus can be equally represented by polygons, boxes, or wires.
