d_techFileId

Specifies the ID of the technology file in which the width spacing pattern is to be created.

t_name

Specifies the width spacing pattern name.

l_patternSpecs

Specifies a list of track group specifications.

list(l_patternSpec)

where,

l_patternSpec is a track group specification.

l_patternSpec: list(l_trackSpecs [d_repeat [l_trackWireTypes]
[l_displayPacketNames]])

• l_trackSpecs is the list of individual track specifications for the specified track group.
  list(l_trackSpec)
  l_trackSpec is a track specification.
  l_trackSpec: list(g_width g_space [t_wireType][t_displayPacketName])
  • g_width is a width of the shapes for the specified track.
  • g_space is the distance of the next track from this track, in the period direction.
  • t_wireType is a string that represents the wire type (only if d_repeat l_trackWireTypes is not specified).
  • t_displayPacketName is the name of a display packet that can be specified to control how the track should be drawn on the screen.
• d_repeat is the number of repeats for the track group. A value of 1 creates the track group from the specified l_specs (1x). A value of 2 creates the track group from the specified l_specs that are repeated once (2x).

• l_trackWireTypes is a list of wire types for the track group (only if d_repeat is specified on the track group).
  list([t_wireType …])
  To not assign a wire type to an individual track, an empty string can be used.
  t_wireType is a string that represents the wire type.
• l_displayPacketNames is a list of display packet names for the track group (only if d_repeat is specified).
  Default value: An empty list.
  l_displayPacketName: list([t_displaypacketName …])
  t_displayPacketName is the display packet name for the specified track.

t_startingColor

Specifies the color of the first track. All tracks are automatically colored by color shifting from the previous track color.

Valid values: mask1Color, mask2Color, mask3Color, and grayColor (uncolored).

g_offset

Specifies the distance of the first track from the period track.

Default value: 0

b_repeatOffset

Specifies a flag to indicate whether the offset is applied when a pattern is repeated.

Default value: nil

t_allowedRepeatMode

Specifies the allowed repeat mode.

Valid values: any (default), none, steppedOnly, and flippedOnly.

t_defaultRepeatMode

Specifies the default repeat mode.

Valid values: noRepeat (default), stepped, flippedStartsWithOdd, and flippedStartsWithEven.

d_widthSpacingPatternId

Returns the ID of the created width spacing pattern.

nil

Returned in case of failure.
