abeLayerMergeTiles

abeLayerMergeTiles(
i_abeLayer
t_orientation
[ ?queue { t | nil } ] 
=> o_outputLayer / nil

Uses an existing ABE layer to recreate maximum tiles based on the specified orientation.

i_abeLayer

A valid ABE layer.

t_orientation

The orientation of shapes.

Valid values are horizontal and vertical.

?queue

Adds the function to the queue, rather than running it immediately. Functions in the queue are not run until abeRunQueue is issued.

o_outputLayer	ID of the ABE output layer.
nil	The operation failed.

cv = dbOpenCellViewByType("Test" "cmdTest" "layout" "maskLayout" "w")

abeInit(cv)

l = abeLayerFromCellView("Metal1")

Here ABE layer l has tiles generated by default. If you want the maximum possible number of tiles to be vertical, run the following:

abeLayerMergeTiles(l "vertical")
