which adds an offset value of "start" to both X and Y from the
lower left corner of the fill area. This allows the use of the
"offset" (from the previous git commit) to be declared on different
layers without creating an exact overlap, as is often required by
foundries for fill patterns.
from a selection, which can then be used to index into other lists.
This lets one selection be made on a list of arbitrary names, and
then additional parameters can be linked together with the same
index). Also, implemented (finally!) the "offset" parameters of
the "slots" function (as advertised in the documentation).
simple FET device in extresist. Also: Extended the bloat-all CIF operator
again, allowing the trigger layer for the bloat operation to include both
CIF layers and magic layers (previously only magic layers were supported).
This extension is possible due to the previous extension allowing the
trigger layer and bloating layers to be on separate planes. This operator
extension is useful for tagging geometry that is in the proximity of, but
not overlapping, geometry on another plane.
reduction of memory and startup time, which was to maintain only
one CIF style in memory. The new method is just to read in and
keep the DRC CIF style separately from the output CIF style.
Because the CIF sections of the techfile are read before the DRC
sections, and the CIF DRC style is declared in the DRC section,
the CIF DRC style is read in on the fly during the first DRC
checking.
option "labels ... cellid" to handle some vendor files where
apparently to get around the 30-character cell name limit, the
actual cellname is encoded on a text layer. Added new cifop
"boundary" (no arguments) for cases where a cell abutment box
is encoded on a GDS layer; this now translates the bounding
box to the FIXED_BBOX property, as is done with the LEF bounding
box. Also corrected the property set function to free existing
property value allocated memory when overwriting a property with
a new value.
