Row Functions
A row represents a location for the placement of standard cells, macros, or devices. The element definitions, which are usually defined in a DEF file, include the name of a valid site in which to place the elements. Rows are defined as an area associated with a single site. A site has a width and a height as well as symmetry information, allowing the specification of rotation and symmetry of elements within a given row. A row is a repetition of the site element in a given direction (horizontal or vertical).
To allow placement of different types of elements, different types of rows need to be created. Rows can be created overlapping each other.
