.SH "Detailed Description"
.PP
Structure managing one routing track\&.
.SH "Track Purpose"
.PP
We use an array of \fIregularly spaced\fP \fBTrack\fP as a geometrical fast access structure\&. It allows to know whether an area is used or not\&. The whole area may be seen as a set of adjoining tiles of fixed \fIwidth\fP but variable \fIlength\fP\&.
.PP
The figure \fB(1\&.b)\fP show, for an horizontal, track the relation between \fCy,min,max\fP and the occupied area of the plane\&. \fCmin\fP and \fCmax\fP must take into account segment extensions (\fCe\fP) and the minimal distance between two rectangles (\fCMD\fP) of the same layer\&. We assume that the width of the segment, augmented of all it's contraints is no greater than \fCTS\fP (in fact it's how \fCTS\fP must be calculated)\&.
.PP
For the whole track array, see \fBRoutingPlane\fP\&.
.PP
Fig 1: Track Area
.SH "Track Implementation"
.PP
A \fBTrack\fP is implemented with a sorted vector of \fBTrackElement\fP\&. TrackElements from differents nets must not overlap\&. The sorting order is defined as follow:
.IP "\(bu" 2
TrackElements are sorted by increasing source (\fImin\fP) positions\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
In case of overlap (i\&.e\&. belongs to the same net), if they share the same source position, then they are sorted by \fIdecreasing\fP length\&. This way, the longest one will be the first encountered when walking through the \fBTrack\fP in increasing index order\&.
.PP
.PP
Figure \fB2\&.b\fP shows the details of the \fBTrack\fP \fB[1]\fP of figure \fB1\&.a\fP\&. Net \fB<d>\fP show an exemple of overlapping\&.
.PP
Fig 2: Track Structure Track Structure
.PP
In addition to the TrackSegments, the \fBTrack\fP also manage additionnal informations through a second vector of TrackMarkers\&. \fBTrackMarker\fP are currently used only to hints at how strongly a terminal is dependant on that portion of \fBTrack\fP to be accessed\&.
.SS "Indexes vs\&. Iterators"
Numerical indexes have been prefered over iterators because they can be used more easily by objects other the \fBTrack\fP itself for referencing\&. So internal managment follow the same rule, handling indexes or reference to indexes\&.
.SS "Update Mechanism"
When a \fBTrackElement\fP is normaly inserted in a \fBTrack\fP, a two way link is established\&. The \fBTrack\fP has an entry in it's vector refering to \fBTrackElement\fP, and conversely, the \fBTrackElement\fP has it's \fCtrack\fP field pointing to it's owning \fBTrack\fP\&.
.PP
\fB\fBTrackElement\fP Removal\fP
.PP
To remove a \fBTrackElement\fP from a \fBTrack\fP, we break one of those two links: the \fBTrackElement\fP cease to refer to the owning \fBTrack\fP, marking him for removal which will occurs at the next track revalidation (\fBTrack::doRemoval()\fP)\&. In figure \fB3\fP, the \fBTrackElement\fP belonging to net \fB<b>\fP is marked for removal\&.
.PP
Fig 3: TrackElement Removal \fB\fBTrackElement\fP Insertion\fP
.PP
When a \fBTrackElement\fP is inserted into a \fBTrack\fP, the two way link is immediatly created (but the \fBTrackElement\fP is not yet at it's final place in the \fBTrack\fP's vector)\&. Before inserting a \fBTrackElement\fP we check that it's been already detached (\fCtrack\fP field to \fCNULL\fP)\&.
.PP
It is at that step that the \fBTrackElement\fP axis is actually updated through a call to \fBTrackElement::setAxis()\fP\&.
.PP
\fBRevalidation Sequence\fP
.PP
After a \fBTrack\fP has been modificated either the \fBTrack\fP element vector or the MarkerElement vector (or both) has been invalidateds\&. Revalidation take place in three steps:
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBTrack::doRemoval()\fP, remove all \fBTrackElement\fP marked for removal\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBTrack::insert()\fP, insert the \fBTrackElement\fP into their new \fBTrack\fP\&.
.IP "\(bu" 2
\fBTrack::doReorder()\fP, sort the \fBTrackElement\fP of the vector, that is, put the newly inserted elements at their right place\&.
.PP
.PP
Each step must be done \fIfor all Tracks\fP before proceeding to the next\&. This way a \fBTrackElement\fP \fCtrack\fP field doesn't get set \fIbefore\fP it has been actually removed from it's previous \fBTrack\fP\&.
.SS "Main Operations on Tracks"
\fBHelper Function:\fP \fBTrack::getBeginIndex()\fP
.PP
Return in \fCbegin\fP the index of the \fBTrackElement\fP whose minimum is immediately below the requested \fCposition\fP on the \fBTrack\fP axis\&. The second returned parameter \fCstate\fP is a set of flags to tell how the \fCbegin\fP index has to be interpreted\&.
.PP
\fBHelper Function:\fP \fBTrack::getOccupiedInterval()\fP
.PP
Returns the complete interval of a set of overlapping \fBTrackElement\fP from the same net\&.
