PlacePin

Name

PlacePin - Places a pin

Synopsys

PlacePin ( net, layer, direction, point, width, height )

Description

Placement of a pin.
The pin is located at the coodinates of point, on the layer layer, has a a direction of direction and size of 1 per 1. It belongs to the net net.

Parameters

• net : Net which the pin belongs to
• layer : Layer of the segment.
  The layer argument is a string wich can take different values, thanks to the technology (file described in HUR_TECHNO_NAME)

• direction : Direction of the pin
  • UNDEFINED, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST
• point : Coodinates of the pin
• width : Width of the pin
• height : Height of the pin

Example

PlacePin ( myNet, "ALU2", NORTH, XY (10, 0), 2, 2 )

Errors

Some errors may occur :

• [Stratus ERROR] PlacePin : Argument layer must be a string.
• [Stratus ERROR] PlacePin : Illegal pin access direction.
The values are : UNDEFINED, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST.
• [Stratus ERROR] PlacePin : Wrong argument,
the coordinates of the pin must be put in a XY object.
