|
|
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal">MBK_TO_RDS_SEGMENT</tt> table control the way segments are translated into
|
|
real rectangles. Be aware that we are translating <em>segments</em> and not <em>rectangles</em>.
|
|
Segments are defined by their axis (source & target points) and their width.
|
|
The geometrical transformations are described according to that model.
|
|
Obviously, they are either horizontal or vertical.</p>
|
|
<p>The translation method of a symbolic segment is as follow:</p>
|
|
<ol class="arabic">
|
|
<li><p class="first">The segment is translated into one or more physical rectangles.
|
|
The generated rectangles depends on the tool which is actually
|
|
using <span class="sc">rds</span> and the flag for the considered real layer.
|
|
For instance, real layers flagged with <tt class="docutils literal">DRC</tt> will be generated
|
|
for <span class="cb">s2r</span> (for the <tt class="docutils literal">cif</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">gds</tt>) and <tt class="docutils literal">druc</tt>, but will not
|
|
be shown under <tt class="docutils literal">graal</tt>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first">Translation into one real layer. <em>First</em> the source & target coordinates and width
|
|
of the symbolic segment are multiplied by the <tt class="docutils literal">LAMBDA</tt> value to obtain a real
|
|
segment. <em>Then</em> one of the <tt class="docutils literal">VW</tt>, <tt class="docutils literal">LCW</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">RCW</tt> transformation is applied to
|
|
that segment to get the final real rectangle.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">VW</tt> for Variable Width, expand the real layer staying centered from the
|
|
original one. In those rules, the third number is not used, it is only here
|
|

|
|
<p> <img alt="RDS Variable Width Rule" class="align-middle" src="../pages/images/RDS_VW.png" style="width: 60%;" /> </p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li><p class="first"><tt class="docutils literal">LCW</tt> or <tt class="docutils literal">RCW</tt> for Left/Right Constant Width, create an off-center rectangle
|
|
of fixed width relatively to the real segment. Note that the <tt class="docutils literal">SP</tt> number
|
|
is the distance <em>between the edge</em> of the real segment and the edge of the
|

generated real rectangle (<em>not</em> from the axis). It is often zero.</p>

not draw relative to the position of the BIGVIA itself, but on a grid which

is common througout all the design real layout. This is to allow overlap

between two BIGVIA without risking the holes matrix to be not exactly overlapping.

As a consequence, when visualizing the <tt class="docutils literal">gds</tt> file, the holes may not be centerend

<p>The <tt class="docutils literal">MBK_TO_RDS_BIGVIA_HOLE</tt> table define the global hole matrix for the whole
