Member Function Documentation

void netListModule::addLVSList(string text,string job)

A entry on the LVS result list is added. Text is display in the list and job is executed, if the item is click by the user. List of job commands: "openNetlist" "placeDevice"+device id "showDevice" +devicename "showNode" +node id "routeNode" +node id "showDeviceNode"+device+"/"+node

A specify more than one job seperate them with " ; ".

void netListModule::autoPlace(bool placeDigital,bool placeAnalog,int srLayer, int analogDistance)

a simple automatic placement of the current netlist. Please see AutomaticPlacement for details. (introduced with version 20140122)

void netListModule::buildConnect()

The connections between the elements are calculated. This function is prerequirament to save a extracted netlist and to perform a lvs.

void netListModule::clearLVSList()

The List of the LVS results ist cleared.

void netListModule::editExtractedNetList()

open an TextEditor with the extracted net list from the current cell. The net list had to be extracted with buildConnect and extractNetList before.

(introduced with version 20130101)

void netListModule::extractNetList()

Extracts the netlist from the current cell. Calling buildConnect() is required before an extraction can be made.

netList * netListModule::getExtractedNetList(string cellname)

a pointer to the extracted netlist of the cellname. Returns NULL, if netlist does not exist.

stringList netListModule::getLibrary()

Returns: a list with all used libraries

netList * netListModule::getLoadedNetList(string cellname)

Returns: a pointer to the loaded netlist of the cellname. Returns NULL, if netlist does not exist.

stringList netListModule::getLVSResults()

Returns: a list with all LVS error or no errors if no error exists.

netList * netListModule::getSchematicNetList(string cellname)

Returns: a pointer to the netlist of the cellname generated by the SchematicEditor. Returns NULL, if netlist does not exist. (introduced with version 20130101)

void netListModule::layoutVersusNetList()

Layout versus Netlist is performed. The results are displayed in the LVS list. Requirement for this feature is that the connection between elements are calulated ( buildConnect() ) and a net list is extracted ( extractNetList() ). This feature will compare the extracted net list with the loaded netlist. (introduced with version 20130101)

void netListModule::layoutVersusSchematic()

Layout versus Schematic is performed. The results are displayed in the LVS list. Requirement for this feature is that the connection between elements are calulated ( buildConnect() ) and a net list is extracted ( extractNetList() ). This feature will compare the extracted net list with the netlist from the schematic. (introduced with version 20130101)

void netListModule::libraryAdd(string fileName)

The library filename is added.

void netListModule::libraryRemoveAll()

All libraries are removed from the library list.

void netListModule::lvs()

Layout versus Schematic is performed. The results are displayed in the LVS list. Requirement for this feature is that the connection between elements are calulated ( buildConnect() ) and a net list is extracted ( extractNetList() ). This feature will compare the extracted net list with the loaded net list or the net list from the schematic.

void netListModule::netlistLoad(string filename)

A netlist with filename is load for the current cell

bool netListModule::placeDevice(string deviceName,point position, strans trans)

places devicename at the position (introduced with version 20151028)

bool netListModule::placeDevice(netListDevice *device,point pos, strans trans)

places device at the position (introduced with version 20151028)

void void netListModule::saveNetlist(netList *netl, string filename,string type)

The netlist netl is saved. (introduced with version 20130101)
