interactive wiring into coordinate-based commands. Added new
command extensions for "wire leg", "wire vertical", "wire type",
and "wire horizontal". Modified the command logging such that
"wire show" (which does not modify layout) does not get logged,
which avoids unnecessary logging of mouse movement.
"angles"-type width rules when calculating the default metal
width DRC rule (this width when present will always be
larger than the minimum metal width), and (2) If an exiting
wire is larger than the contact size, then set the contact
size such that the contact PLUS the surrounding metal is the
width of the exiting wire. The existing code sets the
contact size itself to the width of the exiting wire, such
that when surrounding material is added, the contact is
larger than it needs to be. The fix to (1) will also fix
other places where the default DRC width rule is computed,
which includes LEF and DEF handling and computing rendered
text sizes when reading GDS.
This commit makes the code (mostly) C99-compatible, enabling to compile
it without the -Wno-error=implicit-function-declaration flag. This
way, Magic becomes usable on arm64 architectures, specifically on Apple
computers with M1/M2 SoC.
an optional extra argument to the "select" command that can be used
to select labels by glob-style matching; e.g., "select area labels
VSS*" or "select less area labels *_1". This will help in managing
labels after flattening a standard cell design; e.g., by using
"select less area labels */VDD".
were made where contacts are placed when shifting up on metal
layer but not made for the reverse case. Also corrected one
inconsistency with non-minimum width wires.
the same interpretation as the scalefactor for the DRC section:
Values in the section are interpreted as lambda divided by the
scalefactor. That allows the wiring values to be real units such
as nanometers and avoid problems with fractional lambda values.
centering wires on grid lines when using a snap grid) so that
the wire width is maintained when switching from one layer to
another, when the wire width is larger than the minimum for the
route layer.
addition to wire overlaps, and added a method when painting
contacts to draw the necessary wire extension past the contact.
Since the wiring method draws single contacts by default, this
wiring method assumes a change in direction between layers. But
the main point is to generate wire contacts without DRC errors.
the wires stay centered on a centerline with respect to each other.
Also corrected the long-standing minor issue that the outline
drawing of the wire does not update when using the mouse scroll
wheel, making it unclear that the wire size has changed until the
wire position changes.
