<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>contact</B> [<B>erase</B>] <I>type</I><BR><BR>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>contact</B> command computes the intersection area (inside the
cursor box) of the two (or more) residue types that make up the contact
type <I>type</I>, and paints the contact type <I>type</I> on top of the
area of intersection. <P>
Option <B>contact erase</B> erases contacts from the area of the cursor
box without affecting the metal layers (or stacked contacts) surrounding
the contact being erased. (Note that the <B>erase</B> command will
remove both the contact type and the surrounding metal layers.)
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>contact</B> is implemented as a built-in layout command in <B>magic</B>.
