d_techFileID

The database identifier of the technology file.

t_name

The name of the wire profile.

t_direction

The direction of the wire profile.

Valid values: forward, reverse

l_wpPoints

A list of points of the type switch or point.

The list has the following syntax:

list( 
     { l_hvPoint | l_switchPoint } … 
    )

These arguments are described as follows:

• l_hvPoint: A list with the following syntax:
  

  list (
        type "point" 
        horizontal l_point 
        vertical l_point 
        [horizontalTurn f_hTurn]
       )

Here:

• • The type value is point.
  • A horizontal component and a vertical component are specified as a list followed by the argument horizontal and vertical, respectively. It is specified as a list with the following syntax:
    

    list (
          type t_type 
          value f_value 
          [locked b_locked] 
          [max f_max] 
          [min f_min] 
          [step f_step] 
         )

    Here:
    • t_type: Point type for the component. Valid values are length, percent, angle.
    • f_value: Value corresponding to t_type. For length, it is in microns. For percentage, it is a value between -100 and 100. For angle, it is a value between -90 and +180.
    • b_locked: Boolean value indicating whether the point is locked by the manufacturer. Values: nil (default) or t.
    • f_max: Maximum length, when t_type is length.
    • f_min: Minimum length, when t_type is length.
    • f_step: The step when t_type is length. The default value is 0.
  • f_hTurn: Specifies a horizontal angle in the wire. Valid values: a float number in the range -90 to +90. Default value: 0

• l_switchPoint: Indicates a switch of direction. If the profile has t_direction set to forward, then all subsequent points are treated as being in the reverse direction. The type value is switch. It is a list with the following syntax:
  

  list(
       type "switch"
      ) 

g_fromVendor

Indicates whether the wire profile is from a vendor.

Boolean value: nil (default), t

x_diameter

The diameter of the wire profile.

Default value: 0

t_material

The wire profile material name as a string.

Default value: an empty string

n_color

The color index of the wire profile.

Default value: 0

g_visibility

The visibility of the wire profile.

Boolean value: nil (default), t

d_wireProfileID

The ID of the newly created wire profile.

nil

A wire profile was not created.
