The {\bfseries Caltech Intermediate Format (C\+IF)} consists in a limited set of graphic primitives used to describe the shapes on each layer of an integrated circuit (see \href{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caltech_Intermediate_Form}{\tt http\+://en.\+wikipedia.\+org/wiki/\+Caltech\+\_\+\+Intermediate\+\_\+\+Form} for more informations). ~\newline

|
|
Although the C\+IF format allows hierarchical description and supports several shapes, in this driver, we do not use hierarchy and only use Polygons.\hypertarget{cif_cifDB}{}\section{Stand alone database structure}\label{cif_cifDB}
|
|
The database consists in two simple objects \+:
|
|
\begin{DoxyItemize}
|
|
\item \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit} contains all C\+IF circuit informations such as the name, the unit used, the scale and the list of all Polygons.
|
|
\item \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_polygon}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Polygon} describes a Polygon (a set of points).
|
|
\end{DoxyItemize}\hypertarget{cif_cifDriver}{}\subsection{Using the driver}\label{cif_cifDriver}
|
|
To drive a C\+IF file, user has to create one \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit} and as many \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_polygon}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Polygon} as the number of shapes of the layout. The \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_polygon}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Polygon} objects can be created independently from for the \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit} but must be finally added to the \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit} using \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit_a5b37e86206e2a128ba6db4987dc09a39}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit\+::add\+Polygon()}.~\newline
|
|
Once the \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit} is complete, simply call the \hyperlink{class_c_i_f_1_1_circuit_a90c823b70c4984f302c19ceca604d101}{C\+I\+F\+::\+Circuit\+::write\+To\+File()} method to drive the database to file.\hypertarget{cif_cifExamples}{}\section{Examples}\label{cif_cifExamples}
|
|
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 two simple code examples to drive a C\+IF file using C++ or Python. These two examples drive the same file {\ttfamily transistor.\+cif\+:}
