phoAbutFunction (Virtuoso Photonics Option)
layoutXL phoAbutFunction string "valid_function_name"
Description
Specifies a user-defined callback to process abutment and unabutment.
The default is "phoWGAbut", which means that this function is used to abut Pcells, non-Pcells, or both in photonic designs.
If the Pcell or non-Pcell instances do not have the abutFunction Property abutment property set on the abutting pinFigs, the value set for the
phoAbutFunction environment variable is used for abutment.
To use this environment variable in Layout XL, you must have the
Virtuoso_Photonics_Option license checked out. For information on obtaining the required license, contact your local Cadence representative.GUI Equivalent
