Description
(Virtuoso Advanced Node for Layout Only) Creates a group of related snap patterns in the specified technology file.
Arguments
|
d_techFileId
|
Specifies the ID of the technology file in which the related snap patterns group is to be created.
|
|
t_name
|
Specifies the name for the related snap patterns group.
|
|
l_relatedSnapPatterns
|
|
|
Specifies the list of snap pattern definitions to include in the group.
l_relatedSnapPatterns: list(l_snapPatternDef)
where,
-
l_snapPatternDef is a snap pattern definition
l_snapPatternDef: list(t_snapPatternDefName [l_widthSpacingPatternNames] [l_widthSpacingPatternGroupNames])
-
t_snapPatternDefName is the name for the snap pattern definition. This name can either refer to a
snapPatternDef or a widthSpacingSnapPatternDef. If it refers to a snapPatternDef, the two optional arguments, l_widthSpacingPatternName and l_widthSpacingPatternGroupNames cannot be used. -
l_widthSpacingPatternNames is a list of the width spacing pattern names allowed in this definition.
l_widthSpacingPatternNames: list(t_widthSpacingPatternName) -
l_widthSpacingPatternGroupNames is a list of the width spacing pattern group names allowed in the definition.
l_widthSpacingPatternGroupNames: list (t_widthSpacingPatternGroupName) -
t_widthSpacingPatternGroupName is a width spacing pattern group name allowed in the definition.
