Parameters

layer
Layout layer of the wire and connectors
width
Width of the wire and connectors
name
Name of the connectors
x
Absolute x coordinate of the wire and connectors

Description

THRU_CON_V adds a vertical segment and two connectors in the current layout cell. The x coordinates gives the wire and connectors horizontal position, vertical ones beeing extracted from the figure abutment box. Two connectors are created on the NORTH and SOUTH sides of the abutment box, at the x coordinates, and given the name name. The segment is drawn thru the figure, from the NORTH connector to the SOUTH one. 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_CON_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_CON_V impossible : no or illegal abutment box" The current figure has either no abutment box defined yet, or has an heigth 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_CON_V(TALU2, 1, grumf", 12L); /* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
