Hi Kinichiro,

Here is a example which should works with .pretty libs (just check/edit the library name).
I added a few comments in source.

Note also:
* SEGVIA was renamed VIA since a long time.
* board.GetSegZones() must be removed from doc: this is a very old method only used to read very old
boards.

Guys who are working on doc are doing a very good job.
Thanks.
