Description
Creates a view context. This Tcl command is the equivalent to creating a view context in the Space-based Router and Chip Optimizer GUI by specifying a view context name in the View Contexts Browser, then clicking Add in the Browser.
Arguments
|
-active_layers_only [ true | false ]
|
|
|
Chooses whether the Global Control for setting opacity applies to active layers only.
|
|
-bindkey s_key
|
Specifies a bindkey for the view. When the bindkey is pressed, the coordinates and display options saved in the view context are restored. This allows you to quickly zoom to a view with all the original display options, except color, restored.
|
|
-comment s_text
|
Specifies comments for the view context.
|
|
-creation_date s_date
|
Specifies the creation date.
|
|
-end_level i_level
|
Specifies the last hierarchy level to display.
|
|
-entry_layer s_lpp
|
Specifies the entry layer purpose name.
|
|
-instance_name_display_mode
|
|
|
Chooses whether to display the name of the instance or the master cell. Valid values are Instance and Master.
|
|
-layer_info {{s_lpp s_visBool s_actBool i_opacity}…}
|
|
|
Specifies the list of layer purposes and objects, with their visibility setting (true|false), active state (true|false) and opacity (integer from 0 through 255).
|
|
-name s_vcName
|
Specifies the name for the view context.
|
|
-opacity i_opacity
|
|
|
Specifies the Global Control opacity setting. Valid values are 0 (transparent) through 255 (most opaque).
|
|
-owner s_name
|
Specifies the name of the person who created the view context.
|
|
-region {f_xlo f_ylo f_xhi f_yhi}
|
|
|
Specifies the rectangular bounding box for the view. The area is specified as a list of numbers: lower left x-coordinate, lower left y-coordinate, upper right x-coordinate, upper right y-coordinate.
|
|
-relative_scaling [ true | false ]
|
|
|
Chooses whether to maintain relative scaling when changing the Global Control opacity setting.
|
|
-show_all_layers_in_lods [ true | false ]
|
|
|
Chooses whether to show all layers in the Layer Object Display Panel, including layer purposes without shapes, or show only layer purposes that contain shapes.
|
|
-show_full_instance_path [ true | false ]
|
|
|
Chooses whether to display the full path name for instances.
|
|
-show_instance_orientation [ true | false ]
|
|
|
Chooses whether to designate the orientation when displaying instances. When used, a diagonal is drawn across a corner of the instance boundary.
|
|
-show_instance_origin [ true | false ]
|
|
|
Chooses whether to designate the origin when displaying instances. When used, a plus (+) sign on the instance boundary marks the origin.
|
|
-start_level i_level
|
|
|
Specifies the starting hierarchy level to display.
|
Examples
The following example creates a view context named allvis that displays hierarchy levels 0 through 99. The opacities for layers and objects are given with the names of the visible layers and objects. The creation date and bounding box for the view are included.
