Description
Creates an array of scalar site definitions in the specified technology database.
Arguments
|
d_techID
|
The database identifier of the technology database.
|
|
t_siteDefName
|
The name of the array site definition to create.
Valid values: Any string
|
|
t_siteDefType
|
The type of scalar site definitions to include in the array.
Valid values: pad and core
|
|
l_sitePattern
|
A list of lists specifying each scalar site definition in the array, along with its offset from the origin (the lower left corner) of the array and its orientation. This argument takes the following syntax:
list( list( t_siteName l_offset t_orient )… )
where,
-
t_siteName is the name of the scalar site definition included in
arraySiteDef. -
l_offset is a list specifying the X and Y offset for the scalar site definition. The list has the following syntax:
list( g_xOffset g_yOffset ) -
t_orient is the orientation for the scalar site definition.
Valid values: R0, R90, R180, R270, MX, MI, MXR90, and MYR90
|
|
g_isSymmetricInX
|
Specifies whether the array site definition is symmetric in the X direction.
Valid values: t | nil
Default: nil
|
|
g_isSymmetricInY
|
Specifies whether the array site definition is symmetric in the Y direction.
Valid Values: t | nil
Default: nil
|
|
g_isSymmetricInR90
|
|
|
Specifies whether the array site definition is symmetric in rotation.
Valid Values: t | nil
Default: nil
|
Value Returned
|
d_arraySiteDefID
|
The site definition was created successfully with the database identifier arraySiteDefID.
|
|
nil
|
The technology database does not exist or one or more of the site definitions do not exist.
|
Example
techCreateArraySiteDef(
tfID "myCoreArray" "core"
list(list("coreSite" 0.0 0.0 "R270")
list("coreSite2" 5.75 0.0 "MYR90")
)
)
=> db:0x01d0400e
Creates the array site definition myCoreArray in the technology database identified by tfID. The array site definition contains two scalar site definitions, coreSite (with X offset 0.0, Y offset 0.0, and orientation R270) and coreSite2 (with X offset 5.75, Y offset 0.0, and orientation MYR90. None of the symmetric specifications is set, and so they all default to nil.
