mptFixCVUncoloredAndUnlocked(
d_cellViewID 
[ l_layers
[ l_region
[ g_fixUncolored
[ g_fixUnlocked ]]]]
)
=> t / nil

Description

Searches for uncolored and unlocked, top-level shapes or vias, in the specified cellview and colors and locks them, respectively.

The mptFixCVUncoloredAndUnlocked function returns the same results as the functions, mptReColor and mptLockAll at the top level, but is intended for a smaller set of shapes. This function has better performance when there are fewer shapes that need to be colored and locked. It is useful when all metal layers are already colored and locked, but via cutlayers still need to be colored and locked.

Arguments

d_cellViewID	The database ID of the cellview.
l_layers	A list of layer names. The default value is `nil`, which implies that all colorable layers are searched.
l_region	The region or design area to be searched. The default value is `nil`, which implies that the entire cellview is searched.
g_fixUncolored	Specifies if uncolored shapes and vias are colored. If `t`, the uncolored shapes and vias are colored. If `nil`, the uncolored shapes and vias are not colored. The default value is `t`.
g_fixUnlocked	Specifies that unlocked shapes and vias are locked, when set to `t`, the default value. If set to `nil`, unlocked shapes and vias are not locked.

Values Returned

`t`	The uncolored or unlocked shapes or vias are colored or locked.
`nil`	The function was not successful.

Examples
