vplGenParams

layoutXL vplGenParams string "list_of_parameters"

Description

Specifies a list of default parameter names and values for Virtuoso parameterized layout generators (VPLGens). The list is used to populate the VPLGen field in the Parameters tab in the Configure Physical Hierarchy window. If your VPLGens all have the same parameters, you can set this environment variable to save you having to enter these each time in the field.

The default is "" (empty), which means you have to type the parameters and values into the VPLGen field for each cell you want to instantiate as a VPLGen.

Arguments

list_of_parameters
	List of parameter names (and default values for non-CDF parameters), each separated by a semicolon. For example, "pw;nw;a 1". If the parameter in question is a CDF parameter (like pw or nw in the example), you do not need to specify a default value; the default set in the schematic is used.

GUI Equivalent

None

Examples

envGetVal("layoutXL" "vplGenParams")

envSetVal("layoutXL" "vplGenParams" 'string "pw;nw;a 1")
