Example

Suppose that a technology database contains the following data for creating a device:

devices(
         tcCreateDeviceClass("symbolic" "eg1"

; class parameter name value pairs
   ()

; formal parameter name value pairs
   (
     (xLen 2.4)
     (yLen 1.2)
)

; access techdb controls for layout design rules 
; and layer info

; set origin reference coordinates
   oriX = 0
   oriY = 0

; cvId drawing layer
   dbCreateRect(tcCellView list("pdiff" "drawing")

; lower left and upper right coords of rectangle
   list(oriX:oriY xLen:yLen)
)

) 
; tcCreateDeviceClass

; declare a cv of device class eg1 called eg1
         tcDeclareDevice("symbolic" "eg1" "eg1")
)

techDeleteDeviceClass(techGetTechFile(ddGetObj("exempliGratia") "symbolic" "eg1")

Deletes the device created with the technology data listed above.
