(Virtuoso Layout Suite EXL and higher tiers) Specifies the extension of a wire of a specific width in a specific direction. The resulting window must not overlap with any end-of-line.

A wire with width equal to f_width measured in the orthogonal direction would form a window by extending by g_edgeExt and by g_oppEdgeExt in the specified direction. The wire must have an edge in the specified direction that is more than f_minEdgeLength and less than f_maxEdgeLength. The window must not overlap with any end-of-line with width less than f_minEolWidth.

Values

tx_layer	The layer on which the constraint is applied. Type: String (layer and purpose names) or Integer (layer number)
g_edgeExt g_oppEdgeExt
	Specifies the extensions for the window. A window is formed around a wire by extending g_edgeExt in the orthogonal direction and g_oppEdgeExt in the specified direction. Type: Floating-point values specifying a range of spacings that are allowed

Parameters

'horizontal | 'vertical
	Specifies the direction in which edgeLength is measured.
'edgeLength (f_minEdgeLength f_maxEdgeLength)
	Specifies that the edge length must be greater than f_minEdgeLength and less than f_maxEdgeLength.
'width f_width
	Specifies the exact width of a wire in the direction orthogonal to the specified direction.
'minEolWidth f_minEolWidth
	Specifies that the window must not overlap with any end-of-line with width less than f_minEolWidth.

Example

Specifies that a wire with width 0.05 in the preferred routing direction would form a window by extending 0.06 in the preferred routing direction and 0.08 in the non-preferred routing direction. The wire must have an edge in the non-preferred direction that is more than 0.04 and less than 0.09. The window must not overlap with any end-of-line with width less than 0.07.
