mptSetDefaultColoringMethod(
t_coloringMethod 
)
=> t / nil

Sets the session default coloring method.

mptSetLayerColoringMethod(
{ d_cellViewID | d_techID } 
l_layers 
t_coloringMethod 
)
=> t / nil

Sets the coloring method for the technology database, the design, or specified layers in the design.

mptGetLayerDefaultColor( 
d_techFileID 
[ t_layerName ] 
)
=> t_color / l_layerColor / nil 

Returns either the default color for the given layer, or a list of layer-default color pairs.

mptGetLockDefaultColors(
)
=> t / nil

Indicates whether the layer default color specified by mptSetLayerDefaultColor will be locked when assigned to a shape.

mptSetLayerDefaultColor( 
t_layer 
t_color )
=> t / nil

Specifies the color assignment for newly created shapes on the given layer.

mptSetLockDefaultColors(
)
=> t / nil

Specifies whether the layer default color specified by mptSetLayerDefaultColor will be locked when assigned to a shape.

mptPropagateLocks( 
[ d_cellviewID 
[ g_convertGroups ]] 
)
=> t / nil

Propagates all the locks visible from the top level to connected shapes through the hierarchy.

mptPropagateSameMaskGroups(
d_cellViewID 
)
=> t / nil

Propagates same mask groups in the given cellview through the hierarchy.

mptLockAl( 
d_cellviewID 
[ l_layerNames ] 
)
=> t / nil

Locks all the top-level shapes of the specified cellview with their current color. You can optionally lock only the shapes on specific colorable layers. Gray color shapes are not locked.

mptUnlockAll(
d_cellViewID 
[ l_layerNames ] 
)
=> t / nil

Unlocks all the colored shapes that are locked at the top level of the specified cellview. You can optionally unlock only the shapes on specific colorable layers. Top-level shapes with color attribute locks (dbLocks) are unlocked with their current color. Hierarchical color locks at the current editing hierarchy level are removed.

mptCleanClusters(
d_cellViewID 
)
=> t / nil

Cleans out-of-date cluster information in the cellview which can help to reduce the design size and/or improve performance.

mptDeleteClusters(
d_cellViewID 
[ l_layers 
[ g_depth ]] 
)
=> t / nil

Removes coloring clusters in the specified design.

mptGetOutdatedDesigns(
d_cellViewID 
[ t_mode ] 
)
=> l_outdated / nil

Returns a list of the cellviews in the design hierarchy for which the color information is outdated.

mptGetUpToDateDesigns(
d_cellViewID 
)
=> l_upToDate / nil

Returns a list of the cellviews in the design hierarchy for which the color information is up to date.

mptReColor(
d_cellviewID
[ l_layers 
[ g_depth ]] 
)
=> t / nil

Recolors the entire cellview.

envSetVal("mpt" "reColorReadOnlyCellView" 'boolean nil)

mptReColorFromShapes(
l_shapes 
)
=> t / nil

Recolors the shapes in the list and the shapes that are connected to them. If the coloring method is managed, the color of the shapes that are within same-mask spacing of the shapes in the list will be updated according to the clustering algorithm.

mptUpdateColor( 
d_cellViewID 
[ l_layers 
[ g_depth ]] 
)
=> t / nil

Updates color information. Similar to mptReColor but runs faster for cases when only part of the design is out of date, because valid coloring information is not recomputed.

mptHiStitch(
)
=> nil

Turns on Stitch mode.

mptHiUnStitch(
)
=> nil

Turns on Unstitch mode.

mptLPPMergeToColor(
d_cellviewID
g_libName
g_viewName
l_mapping
[ g_colorState ]
)
=> t / nil

)
=> t / nil

Shows or hides the color for the specified mask on the given layers.

mptDoToolbarAction(
