d_techFileId

Specifies the ID of the technology file in which the widthSpacingSnapPatternDef object is to be created.

t_name

Specifies the name for the widthSpacingSnapPatternDef object.

l_lp

Specifies the layer and purpose used to draw regions for this widthSpacingSnapPatternDef in a layout.

l_lp: list(tx_layer tx_purpose)

t_direction

Specifies the pattern direction.

Valid values: horizontal or vertical.

g_period

Specifies the spacing between coarse-grain period tracks.

t_defaultActivePattern

Specifies the pattern, which is used in areas where no region has been drawn.

l_snappingLayers

Specifies the list of snapping layer definitions.

list(l_snappingLayer)

where,

• l_snappingLayer is a snapping layer definition.

l_snappingLayer: list(tx_layer [l_purposeList])

• tx_layer is snap layer name.
• l_purposeList is a list of purpose names.

l_purposeList: list(tx_purpose)

g_offset

Specifies the distance of the nearest period track to the anchor reference (either the lower edge of the PRBoundary or the origin axis).

Default value: 0

l_patternNames

Specifies a list of allowed width spacing pattern names.

list(t_patternName)

l_patternGroupNames

Specifies a list of allowed width spacing pattern group names.

list(t_patternGroupName)

g_gridType

The WSP grid to use for line-ends. The following values are valid:

• upperLower: Applies to both ends of the wires.
• lower: Applies to the lower line-ends of vertical wires and the left line-ends of horizontal wires.
• upper: Applies to the upper line-ends of vertical wires and the right line-ends of horizontal wires.
• nil: The default value, which is used when this argument is not specified. In this case, the line-end grid is not configured for the widthSpacingSnapPatternDef object.

d_widthSpacingSnapPatternDefId

Returns the ID of the created object.

nil

Returned in case of failure.
