rodAssignHandleToParameter

[Guenther Sohler]

Hallo,

I have been programming pcells and used the function

rodAssignHAndleToParameter.

This works quite well, normally,

but now I create a handle and i want to assign a vertical and a horizontal
stretch direction to it. Obviously the vertical direction has other
functionality than the horizontal stretch direction.

IT does not work. i just can use the last functionality defined.
I even tried defining 2 separate handles. It still does not work.

Is it possible at all ?

Like this fragment? (draws two metal plates, Mn and Mn+1,
floods them with vias, and gives you a stretch handle at
upper-right that pulls in either X or Y):

mrect = rodCreateRect( ?layer mTop ?width x ?length y
?subRectArray list(
list(
?layer via
?width viaWidth
?length viaWidth
?lowerLeftOffsetX enc
?lowerLeftOffsetY enc
?upperRightOffsetX -enc
?upperRightOffsetY -enc
?gap "distribute"
?spaceX space
?spaceY space
)
)
)
; draw top metal no need for rod, x,y slaved from bottom metal
dbCreateRect(cvId mBot list( list(0 0) list(x y) )
)
; Make the stretch handle(s)
rodAssignHandleToParameter(
?parameter "x"
?rodObj mrect
?handleName "upperRight"
?displayName "x"
?stretchDir "X"
?stretchType "relative"
?moveOrigin t
)
rodAssignHandleToParameter(
?parameter "y"
?rodObj mrect
?handleName "upperRight"
?displayName "y"
?stretchDir "Y"
?stretchType "relative"
?moveOrigin t
)
