Different behaviors for Mosaic in different versions of Cade

[Tao Chen]

I am trying to draw mosaic layout (dbCreateSimpleMosaic). I noticed that there are different behavior between Cadence 5 and Cadence 6. For example:
* in cadence 6, when the orientation is R0, when I increase the column number while keeping the same origin, the mosaic grows rightward. But in Cadence it grows leftward;
* when I increase the row number, in cadence 6 the mosaic grows upward while in cadence 5 it grows downward.
* when the orientation is R90 or R270, in cadence 5 the row/column number is the actual row/column number while in Cadence 6 it is on the contrary.

Anybody know the detailed difference between the two versions? Which document introduces the difference? Thanks!

This is covered in <ICinstDir>/doc/dfoaAdopt/dfoaAdopt.pdf - search for
"mosaic" and you'll find the explanation.
