Enhancements in the Layer Map File Format

A Color Annotate field has been added to the layer map file syntax and is mutually exclusive with the Color State field. It is used by the third-party color engine to output annotations to a Stream file, and by the colorAnnotate utility to assign colors to shapes in the OpenAccess database using the annotations in the Stream file.

<Layer Name>   <Purpose Name>   <Stream Layer Number>   <Stream DataType> [Material Type] [Mask Number] [Qualifier] [Photomask Color] [Color State] | [Color Annotate]

where:

• Columns 1 to 4 are mandatory.
• Columns 5 to 9 are optional.
• Allowed combinations from columns 5 to 9 are:
  • * <Material Type>
  • * <Material Type> <MaskNumber>
  • * <Material Type> <MaskNumber> <Qualifier>
  • * <Material Type> <Qualifier>
  • * <Qualifier>
  • * <Material Type> <PhotoMaskColor> <ColorState>
  • * <Material Type> <MaskNumber> <PhotoMaskColor> <ColorState>
  • * <Material Type> <MaskNumber> <Qualifier> <PhotoMaskColor> <ColorState>
  • * <Material Type> <Qualifier> <PhotoMaskColor> <ColorState>
  • * <Qualifier> <PhotoMaskColor> <ColorState>
  • <PhotoMaskColor> <ColorAnnotate>
• Valid values for the Qualifier column are Pin, floating, and cutSize:<float>:<float>.
• Valid values for the Photomask Color column are mask1Color to maskXColor where X is the number of masks defined for the layer in the technology file.
• Valid values for the Color State column are locked and unlocked.
• Valid value for the Color Annotate column is colorAnnotate. Lines with this value will be ignored by XStream In and XStream Out.
• Color State and Color Annotate cannot be used in the same line.
