Name

THRU_V - draw a vertical wire from side to side of the abutment box of the current figure

Synopsys

#include <genlib.h>
void THRU_V(layer, width, x)
char layer;
long width;
long x;

Origin

This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD system from the CAO-VLSI team at ASIM/LIP6/UPMC laboratory.

Parameters

layer
Layout layer of the wire
width
Width of the wire
x
Absolute x coordinate of the wire

Description

THRU_V adds a vertical segment in the current layout cell. The x coordinates gives the wire its horizontal position, vertical ones beeing extracted from the figure abutment box. The segment is drawn thru the figure, from one side of the abutment box to the other side. This function is mostly used to put through routes on a figure, and therefore, the T prefixed layer names are the most likely to be used here. The layer argument can take the following legal values:

NWELL
PWELL
NTIE
PTIE
NDIF
PDIF
NTRANS
PTRANS
POLY
ALU1
ALU2
ALU3
TPOLY
TALU1
TALU2
TALU3

Errors

THRU_V impossible : missing DEF_PHFIG" No figure has been yet specified by a call to DEF_PHFIG. So it isn't possible to place a connector inside it. you must call DEF_PHFIG before any other layout action. THRU_V impossible : no or illegal abutment box" The current figure has either no abutment box defined yet, or has a width of zero. DEF_AB is to be called.

Example

#include <genlib.h>
main()
{
/* Create a figure to work on */ DEF_PHFIG("cell");
.
.
.
DEF_AB(0L, 0L, 0L, 0L);
/* Put a wire through the figure */ THRU_V(TALU2, 1, 32L);
/* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
