phoCompose

phoCompose(
l_dbInstID
l_libCellView
)
=> t_dbInstId / nil

Description

(Virtuoso Photonics Option) Composes the specified list of waveguides into a composite of the specified master.

Arguments

l_dbInstID	t_insts | l_insts A single database instance or a list of database instances that are turned into a composite waveguide. These instances must be valid waveguide building blocks that can be placed inside a composite waveguide.
l_libCellView
	A list representing the library cellview master of the composite waveguide to be created.

Value Returned

t_dbInstId	Database instance ID of the composite waveguide created.
nil	The composite waveguide was not created because an error occurred or the specified master is not a composite waveguide.

Example

Create a composite waveguide using the specified waveguide master.

when(window = hiGetCurrentWindow()

  when(cellView = geGetEditCellView() ; This should be a layout cellview

    wg1 = dbFindAnyInstByName(cellView "Opt0") 

    wg2 = dbFindAnyInstByName(cellView "Opt1")

    ; wg1 and wg2 are valid waveguide building blocks

    composite = phoCompose(list(wg1 wg2) list("gopdk" "waveguideComposite" "layout"))

  ))
