 /*! \class        GCell
  *  \brief        Global Routing cell (\b API).
  *
  *  \attention    This class can only be allocated through a GCellGrid thus
  *                Constructors/Destructors are protecteds.
  *
  * \remark        As this object uses the decorator Design Pattern, almost all
  *                functions are pure virtuals. Implementation take place in a
  *                derived class \c GCellConcrete which is not documented,
  *                (same specifications as GCell).
  *
  * \see           GCellDecorator class.

  *                Recompute the horizontal, vertical, global and contact of

  *
  *                The horizontal density is computed as follow : the sum of the length
  *                of all horizontal wires divided by the the total length of horizontal
  *                wires (the width of the GCell times the number of horizontal tracks).
  *                A density equal to one means a totally saturated GCell, and greater
  *                than one an overloaded GCell (unroutable).
  *
  *                The vertical density is computed in a similar way to the horizontal
  *                one.
  *
  *                The global density is the average of horizontal and vertical
  *                density.
  *
  *                AutoContact density is the ratio of number of contact with length of
  *                the diagonal of the GCell multiplied by two. This is a rough approximate.
  *
  *  \see          GCellGrid::updateDensity().
