since all of the title images still had 8.2, and the title text still said 7.3 or 7.4, having not been updated for a long time.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
|
|
<BLOCKQUOTE>
|
|
The <B>plow</B> command implements a sophisticated method of
|
|
stretching and compacting layout. The cursor box can be
|
|
used to shove layout in one direction or another, preserving
|
|
net connectivity through the modifications. <P>
|
|
|
|
Results of <B>plow</B> are usually messier than most VLSI
|
|
designers care to cope with. The best cell compaction is
|
|
realized with careful floorplanning considerations, not
|
|
brute force pushing and shoving.
