Hi guys. Im currently working on making a workflow with a python macro for klayout, and im facing some issues with setting the layout as the active cell view in klayout. Lets say i have a gds file path or something like this given as

gds_file_path = 'some/path'

i then set the layout as

layout = pya.Layout()
layout.read(gds_file_path)

how can i then set the layout as the active cell view?

not sure if its in the api, but i imagine something like

cell_view.layout_set(layout)

```import pya

application = pya.Application().instance()
main_window = application.main_window()

main_window.load_layout("path-to-gds-file")```
