Parameters

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

Description

THRU_CON_H adds an horizontal segment in the current layout cell. Two connectors are created on the WEST and EQST sides of the abutment box, at the y coordinates, and given the name name. The segment is drawn thru the figure, from the WEST connector to the EAST 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_H 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_H impossible : no or illegal abutment box" The current figure has either no abutment box defined yet, or has a 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_H(TALU2, 1, pwet", 32L);
/* Save that on disk */
SAVE_PHFIG();
}
