techSetLPPriorityInContext

techSetLPPriorityInContext(
d_tfId
d_techLPId
x_priority
) 
=> d_lppId / nil

Description

Sets the drawing priority of a layer-purpose pair in an effective technology database. The larger the number, the higher the priority. The layer-purpose pair must exist in the graph rooted at the specified technology database; it does not need to exist locally in the specified technology database.

The following three cases apply:

• If d_techLpId exists in d_tfId, the priority is reset and the function returns d_techLpId.
• If d_techLPId is not defined locally in d_tfId and no equivalent layer-purpose pair exists in d_tfId, a clone of d_techLPId is created in the technology database d_tfID and the function returns this newly created layer-purpose pair.
• If d_techLpId does not exist in d_tfId, but an equivalent layer-purpose pair exists in d_tfId, the function returns nil.

Example

techSetLPPriorityInContext(tfID lpId 3)
