\hypertarget{dtr_dtrPres}{}\section{Presentation}\label{dtr_dtrPres}
The {\bfseries Design Technology Rules (D\+TR)} format was developped as a part of the Chams Project (\href{http://www-soc.lip6.fr/recherche/cian/chams/}{\tt http\+://www-\/soc.\+lip6.\+fr/recherche/cian/chams/}). It aims at offering a generic description of layout design rules for C\+M\+OS technologies.~\newline

Only simple rules are supported at the moment. For example the minimum width of a metal layer has only one value, although it should depends on the length of the wire drawned.\hypertarget{dtr_dtrDB}{}\section{Stand alone database structure}\label{dtr_dtrDB}
The database contains four object \+:
\begin{DoxyItemize}
\item \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_techno}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Techno}} contains generic informations such as the name of the technology and the unit used, and the list of all technologic rules.
\item \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_rule}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Rule}} \& \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_a_rule}{D\+T\+R\+::\+A\+Rule}} respectively describe a symmetrical and an asymmetrical rule.
\end{DoxyItemize}

The library also use the \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_d_t_r_exception}{D\+T\+R\+::\+D\+T\+R\+Exception}} class to throw excptions.\hypertarget{dtr_dtrParser}{}\subsection{Using the parser}\label{dtr_dtrParser}
Simply load a technology with static function \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_techno_acf863c2bdb7f1aacc4422c8155c60d17}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Techno\+::read\+From\+File()}} and then get rules (\mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_techno_a4d56a05b47bd6c51e4e18120f49b584b}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Techno\+::get\+Rule()}}) or directly values (\mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_techno_ac08e2e60dd16750551221ca908001057}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Techno\+::get\+Value()}}).\hypertarget{dtr_dtrDriver}{}\subsection{Using the driver}\label{dtr_dtrDriver}
Using the driver is very simple, user has to create a \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_techno}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Techno}} object and simply add \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_rule}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Rule}} or \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_a_rule}{D\+T\+R\+::\+A\+Rule}} to it. The adding methods return the newly created Rule so user can set the rule type (\mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_rule_a3568407d7a7890c39b8c9acc1e608535}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Rule\+::set\+Type()}}) if necessary. Finally use the \mbox{\hyperlink{class_d_t_r_1_1_techno_a26b05539dd3345963b8708788b82e2cb}{D\+T\+R\+::\+Techno\+::write\+To\+File()}} method to dump the database to file.\hypertarget{dtr_dtrExamples}{}\section{Examples}\label{dtr_dtrExamples}
As said is the global presentation, V\+L\+SI S\+A\+PD project provides C++ libraries and Python modules for each supported format. In this section we present simple code examples to parse and drive a D\+TR file using C++ or Python. The D\+TR file considered is the same for all examples\+: {\ttfamily example.\+dtr.\+xml}
