lxPositionMinSep

layoutXL lxPositionMinSep float float

Description

Positions the instances in the layout at a minimum separation based on the user-defined value.

The environment variable can be used to spread out or compact the instances in a layout by increasing or decreasing the minimum separation value.

The lxPositionMinSep environment variable takes precedence over lxGenerateInBoundary. Therefore, if the minimum separation value you specify using lxPositionMinSep is large, the instances may get positioned outside of the design boundary even if lxGenerateInBoundary is set.
